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! |

He's a treasure. And a keeper.

Couple inches, lots of snow plows out, mostly wearing out their blades.

Well it looked pretty bad at work, but then it dwindled down to wet roads by the time I got home.
To: Overtaxed
Just the opposite for me, further south I went, the more snow. Go Figure.

suggestions for bachelorpartymoot. I'll bring the duct tape if somebody else can bring the chair and the blindfold. As long as we line up the foreign lawyer in advance and leave the tickets at will call, he might even get back in the country in time. Might be tricky though... hopefully they'll catch him at customs before...

Been dumpin frap. The Big Brother, Big Sister Foundation is in our neighborhood tomorrow doing a pick up, and I'm going through some older clothes, shoes and linens. So far I've filled about 8 bags. I haven't looked that hard for stuff so far, though. I'll have to call them back again in a few weeks.
I have a ton of craft stuff in the basement, but I'm going to donate that to an Abused Women's shelter in Worcester. I didn't see anything on the BBBS list about that stuff, but I know Abby's House will take it.

Sorry I'm late. Been on the phone and used up all my Hobbit Hole time. :-)
Long day at work (got out at 7pm). It'll be better tomorrow though, thank goodness.
Hope I didn't miss anything ~too~ important. ;-)
Nighty night everyone!

If you did, then I did too, chica. :-)
I'm checking out the news side and answering FReepmail before I shut down for the night. Time zones are such a pain.

Yeah, time zones are a drag. I mean, I understand 'em and all, but...
Oh well. Once we get that compound, it won't be an issue, right? ;-)
To: RMDupree
Pretend to blow your nose right in the middle of it.
They won't want it anymore. :-) Good luck!
