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! |

Anyway, there was no popcorn. But Ruthy had tequila.

Did the horses get their toes trimmed OK? Did Bay need new shoes or pads this time?

Well it is not like we told them anything like making out at the airport that would have baited popcorn.
To: RosieCotton; RMDupree

Oh have mercy my only thought
Was tequila makes her clothes fall off

Toes are all trimmed, Bay just got a reset, but I think it cost the same (Marc Math) But everyone's lookin' just fine! :~D
I stripped Bay's stall down to the mats and pushed his bedding into the pony's stall so Marc could work in there out of the rain.
Bay pooped on him. So - complain all you want about your day, I bet you can't say you actually got crapped on. :~D

Well to give you 'something'... That photo she posted that they sprung on her grandmother was the most physical we had gotten up to that point (early in the day on January 1 '06).
er...
The most that happened at Turkeymoot was holding hands to pray. I was being extra cautious and slow for a variety of good reasons. Anyway at the airport heading home after some talking and hand holding she DEMANDED that I kiss her so naturally I was all polite and did not turn her down ;-D
on second thought never mind ;-P
