The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Let them go! Let them go!
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 splurged and ate out for lunch, so I'm doing the same.
I hope Miss Cat forgives you quickly.

heh... no painting just yet. Gonna clean stuff. First big cleaning project is the roofs (de-mossing) and the gutters. Should be messy enough.
To: RMDupree
We had a good-bye luncheon for someone today....went to the Italian buffet and ate way too much!

Be careful and wear good shoes. :-D
You can always have your dad pressure wash ~you~ once you're done with the gutters. LOL!

What's noodling? It's that thing that 2J was doing... where they jump into the river and grab big catfish by the jaw... barehanded.
Not my bag, particularly... but some seem to like it. :-)
To: Overtaxed
mmmmm....Italian.....
I had Shorty's BBQ. Not anywhere near as good as the food I got to eat in KC with you, Osage and LSA though!
My mouth waters with just the memory of THAT lunch!

well, granted it is not in the same class, the alligator snapping turtle often hangs out in came habitat niche that the big ol' catfish do. It's a common enough occurance that a some dedicated noodlers are missing the odd digit.

I concur Ruthee, that was a mighty fine meal, worthy to commemorate the first FL/KS/MO mini-moot.

I don't think she's actually gone noodling yet, Sam.
It's on her things-to-do list, I believe.

Is fishing better in the fall of the year or the winter down there?

I envy you all being able to have access to that restaurant all the time.
They need to open one down here. It would make a killing!

Well, it's also legal in MO, in specific locations, but it's practiced a lot of other places. Should we put in on the agenda for your next visit?
