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!

You guys better tell us, 'cause if it's before Memorial Day, I have to start working on my total tan.

That whole ~no white before Memorial Day~ and all that.

At werk there's 3 to 4 inches. At thehouse, there's barely a dusting on the grass.

Do you have a venue yet? This should hold most of us...

Well, yeah, but that place got blown up years ago.

We have the venue as long as all the hoops are as easy to get through as we think they are. Calling in some experts on that one.

Corin:

Remember this. I know your real name. I can figure out more or less where you live. I know what you are afraid of. If I have to, I can hurt you.

Ok - it was a super long, hectic day. I worked extra hours and spent the whole day paddling upstream. Ugh! My brain is fried and I am sooooo tired. I still have to cook dinner and do evening chores. I can hardly see straight.

So I come home and Big'ol meets me at my Jeep. He's grinning like a fool and is holding something behind his back. Roses. The occasion? "Just because."

*happy sigh*

(Just a data point for you, Talon, fyi. 'Just because' is always a great occasion for flowers or other romantic gestures.)

Our sons are big time WoW fans! Clare and Joseph got a kick out of that slide show.
