The Hobbit Hole XVI - Still round the corner there may wait...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Still round the corner there may wait...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

You can never have enough carp, that's what I say...
...though now that I think about it, I think maybe you can indeed eventually have quite enough carp.

Thanks for the advice.
When my cousin/new roommate gets here with the van, maybe we'll join forces to pull the table apart, remove the leaf, and shove the thing back together.
Pretty good table...I bought the last one, the floor model, from a Sears in Austin in about 1996, no chairs. Since then added two pairs of screw'em together wooden chairs with padded cloth seats...not at all unattractive, especially when I throw a tablecloth on.
My place in Texas was small, and the leaf stayed out except the two times I had enough company to justify it. This place and the new place are big enough, it has stayed in and probably will stay in even if it comes out for the actual move.

Evening; yup, another week successfully concluded, meaning we survived.
Kinda quiet with moots, jams, movings but Jen is serving up Maragriters at her place.

Evenin, Pool Bored done I see, best kick back and enjoy a libation.
The inspirational story loosely based on Stormhands couldn't hold a candle to the real thing, imho. You have a good deal of inner peace and acceptance to carry on with life as you do.

Well... I don't actually speak latin, but that does *look* funny. Something about North American rodents? Democrats perhaps?

Questo porcellino piccolo è andato introdurre,
questo porcellino piccolo rimasto domestico,
questo porcellino piccolo ha mangiato il manzo degli arrosti,
questo porcellino piccolo non ne ha mangiato,
E questo porcellino piccolo detto tutto il modo a casa.

hehehe... sometimes it's even funnier to translate it back:
This porcellino small has gone to introduce, this porcellino small remained domestic, this porcellino small has eaten the manzo of the roast ones, this porcellino small has not eaten any, and this porcellino small saying all the way to house.

Good evening, everyone! Had a very successful mini-moot, I think!
I really like the King Arthur Baking store. I have to go back there with more cash! Really nifty place - all sorts of interesting pans and cookie molds and spices and flours and allkindastufflikethat. Stephen was impressed because everything there "would make a great weapon", i.e. all the cooking utensils and pans were of the verrry heavy-duty variety. ;-)
We did some shopping and then went out for Chinese food.
And Suzi gave me some sugar-free chocolate and Earl Grey (decaf and caffeinated both!) as a birthday present! I just had a turtle and now I'm heating water for tea.
I was going to go to the jam on the way home...but chickened out. We hung out at the house of a family we're good friends with for awhile watching "The Music Man", tasted mead and watched Dad and the other father bottle the latest batch of beer they're co-brewing, and then I came back here to do some writing.
