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!

Heh....my mater's are blooming like crazy (and so are the peppers) but I've had maybe three cherry tomatoes so far.

The daylilies that the varmints haven't et yet are putting out more foliage and some bug is eatin' your coneflower.

Did you watch the movie at all, or just have a quiet evening together?

We just flipped around till 9, then watched a marathon of South Park.

Coincidentally, in one episode, they went to Fort Collins. :~D

It's a romantic comedy based on a reinterpretation of Sense and Sensibility. It's about a sweet 30-something single girl named Bridget Jones who fusses about being single, her weight, and her vices. She makes sticking one's foot in one's mouth high art and is torn between two guys. One is an absolute cad (Hugh Grant) the other is respectable but a bit uptight and distant (Colin Firth). It's brilliantly written - full of laughs and cringes.

Ok, just remember it probably wasn't an accurate portrayal of this town.

I bet it was an accurate portrayal of the town... It wasn't the town that was screwed up, it was their reason for being there :~D

Whoohoo, glad to hear the 'maters and peppers are still trying to put on a good show.

Varmint bug on the coneflower? Don't know, never had that problem. Ours are still looking good. The Joepye has put on great feathered heads this year. The bees love them, course they like the rose-of-sharon too.

Ack! I am so burnt out on James Bond (and probably will be for years to come). So completely burnt out. Ugh.

I didn't know it was possible for one to burn out on James Bond. The good ones, at least.
