The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

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!

have they forgotten that Tony is still downstairs in the clinic?

Well, it's only been a few hours. I'm sure he's still out like a light.

Looks nice. Dings make it feel "loved." But the main thing is fer learnin' is if it'll hold the tune.

Does the Mrs. play? Or are y'all just gonna learn the younguns?

And then one Christmas Eve, when thegirl is learnin' to play "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" g'nad will bark at her to be quiet and then go try to jump off a bridge...

Oh wait...that's my life...

Rosie's over getting herself settled and unpacked... I went over and snapped some organizing shots ;~D

Here you can see the two big bookcases she bought, and the little dresser that is serving as a TV stand until she finds a real TV stand, the new slipcover for my old couch, and some of her things finding a place to be.

And her new big plant found a spot in the kitchen :~D

It's looking homier... If she stays there long she wants to paint, but it'll be comfortable enough I think.

I gotta get cleaned up now... take her to the hardware store.
