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 don't really like the fruity wines. But a couple that we had tonight weren't bad.

Hehehe... good, ain't it?

I could do without Tarantino's influence - I'm not that big on gore and violence. But that being said, the plot structure was so sophisticated and neat. I wish more movies would attempt something like that.

She's curled up next to me and swishing her tail.

Hrm.. tail swishing can mean she wants to kill something.

The Missing, too. Have you see that one...?

Indeed I have not. I did see The Prince and Me recently - another cute addition to the "American Princess" wing of the Chick Flick Library. Julia Stiles and some handsome Scandanavian guy. (I think we need more handsome Scandanavian actors in the world...)

Mornin'.

Sorry I ditched on you all in chat last night.

My mom was feelin' a bit down, so I invited her to watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding with me. It cheered her up and by then it was well past my bedtime.

Got up this morning with a bit of a sore throat and the girls are both coughing and sniffling.

~sigh~

Never fails. As soon as Becky starts school, here come the viruses. :-(

I'll be tending sick kids today, so I'll pop in and out as I can.

Have a grest Sunday everyone!

*blush*

"Grest" should be "great", of course.

Morning!

Can you sue the school system for getting Becky sick?

Need coffee...

Good morning!

I had to ditch too. Sometimes I just reach a point where I can't stand sitting at the computer any more! And I was at that point last night.

How did the chat view go for everyone else?

No, but I wish I could, OT!

Aly is being especially bratty today. Whiny and tantrums left and right.

I have to brave the store today, so pray that they behave for 30 small minutes....

Had some cross-chatting going on for a while....both movies had Sicilians in them.

I got evicted by General Chat one time too many.

What to do today? I should go shopping, but I don't feel like it.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow! /whine

Well, we're going trail riding... You can be thankful you won't get herded into doing that! :~D

I suppose I should go for a walk this morning.

I should plant the cat some catgrass and get some other seeds started.

Steenkin' squirrels got more 'maters....even the ones with blossom end rot.

Morning All - sip, (where's a caffine IV drip when you need one). Taking a break, Gypsygirl got a long walk this a.m. since the weather is unknown at this point. Naybers were doing 'home improvements guarranted to lower value' yesterday. We'll see if they continue today, sigh.

Ruthie - colds already, sorry to hear that.

Hair - trailride equals adventures, have fun while 'adventuring'.

OT: hmm. squirrels.. the other white meat. LSA blanched another batch of Romas yesterday and we had Beefsteak 'mater BLTs last night. New crop of Romas coming on nicely, the rain must've kicked 'em into production again. Working on a 'snakey' osage bow, lots of rasping yet to do, but the bow is definitely emerging from the cocoon of wood.

Rosie gave up around nine, but Talon and I made it all the way to the last "As you wish".

Next time I'll give more notice. But at least I had company for the movie!

You can't watch a movie like that without company. If I'd been at home we'd have had a nine-voice chorus for the "prepare to die" and "mawwaige" bits.
