The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

I used to always do my grocery shopping at about eight on Saturdays. There'd be no one else in the store.

Then the commissary did some people counting and decided there weren't enough early shoppers to make it worth being open that early, and they changed the opening time to ten or eleven...forget which.

Grrrrr...

Morning folkses!

Becky and I are up and getting ready to head out to the salon for a ladies' day.

After that, we'll be heading to one of our friends' homes to hang out for a while.

I'll be back in time for the TTT EE chat-view tonight.

9 o'clock, right?

Have a great day everyone!

I think everyone will at least be here for part of it. We'll be here for all of it...but others are in and out, so no big deal.

Have fun when you go! And take more pictures! Hopefully the adventures today will be of the non-life-threatening variety...

I'm just feelin' so psyched about all the bike trails I now know are out there!

Saw horses this morning, too! A...pinto? The ones that are white with big brown patches. And a bay.

I'm baaaaack! Spent too much. Bing cherries were on sale and I probably shouldn't have bought the frozen yogurt.

OK...I know the guy in OT's picture (of course!), but...I have no clue who the guy you posted is, I don't think.

I have a definite fruit shortage here. Finished the nectarines yesterday and the canteloupe the day before.

Need to go shopping. If I'm lucky, cherries will be on sale. Might as well take advantage of them being in season!

This is your official reminder (yeah, most of you already saw) that we're doing a chat-view of TTT EE at 9 pm Eastern, tonight. Stop by if you have time. Don't feel obligated to commit to the whole thing.

Meanwhile we're going to try, in a while, biking to B&N. And this evening, a Walmart run.
