The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

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! |

Enough details. If you're sending a message upstairs, an extra one for Ann would be appreciated. Will do, Corin.
To: Corin Stormhands
I'll put Ann on the Parish Prayer list!

Why did I think it was a good idea to volunteer to drive my sister's friend to the airport first thing this morning?
Yawn.

Gooooooood morning! 'Tis a busy one here at work today, but at least the weather outside is mild enough that the lack of heat isn't so noticeable. I'm wondering if there's something seriesly wrong with the furnace - as in pumping CO instead of heat. I ended my day with a splitting headache on par with a 'getting the flu' headache, foggy brain, and mild nausea. I almost went home early. Two other gals in my wing were popping Tylenol for the same thing. So I'm wonderin'.
To: Lil'freeper
Morning!
RE the CO and the headaches....I wouldn't be suprised. Can you get one of those CO detectors?

There's a Home Despot nearby. If I have another headache at lunch, I'll head down there and get a detector.
To: Lil'freeper
