The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

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!

she'll be off to FL in August.

She won't like Florida in August! In August either you stay in the water, in the A/C, or you suffer!

Ugh...sorry to hear that, Ruthy! Pull up a chair, put your feet up, have some Tension Tamer!

I'm makin' a big pot o' lentil soup here. Should be tasty, especially accompanied by sourdough toast.

I'll fix a cup of chamomile tea in a minute here.

For now, it just feels good knowing the work day is over, the kids are bathed and in bed and I'm hanging out in the Hobbit Hole. :-D

Yep!

Soup's almost done here. Smells awfully good. Kinda late for dinner...but I kinda forgot about lunch until late, so that's OK.
