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!

Had some good fights, too.

I can't find the keys to your car.

I left them hanging on that white cup that has pens in it.

I found 'em...

If I had gotten an earlier start tidying this desk, I'd have found them.

Maybe they're that cult Corin belonged to...

Corin in the Junior League? That sure would change the nature of the group. ;o)

That would explain the lack of sex and drugs...

I never knew anyone in The Junior League before I came to MA, then a friend of mine was in the group. From what I understand it is a service organization for women in higher levels of socio-economic strata. They usually run thrift stores to which every member is expected to contribute items regularly, and with that income, they do service projects like donating books for poor children. They also have a Festival of Trees every year that brings in income as well.

Are y'all getting invitations to join strange Yahoo discussion groups? I've gotten at least 3 different invites in the last 12 hours! I don't know if someone has hacked into the Groups section and is getting Yahoo addresses or what.

Well, the clothes were really high quality. I loved the store!

I haven't gotten any...I probably already have a reputation.

Nope... probably came from your interest in the Junior League. ;~D

Whew, finally got away from work. Now I can relax for just a bit before cleaning and cooking. They'll be arriving around seven...

It's storming here. Just in time to walk to the garage. But I don't mind. We REALLY need the rain.

I'm going now. Should be an interesting drive home.

BTW, nice work on the thread-who-must-not-be-named.

Listen, that 1c flour, 1c water, 1 and half tsp yeast makes about 1c of starter. I just added 2 cups flour and 2 cups water to it to "proof" it like the recipe calls for. It gave me about 4 c of starter, so I'll either make two batches and use it up or save some.

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. I'm making the bread in the morning.

"Caught up here" post.

Still at work here and want a place to start from when I get settled at home. :-D
