The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

Morning OT - yesss, it's raining. Slow and steady. Here's hoping it sticks around for a while; slowly spreading southward to G'nad's place. Was in the field yesterday, soil sampling, good day. Gypsygirl is wondering 'what about meeee? Don't I get my loooong walk now?' The cats have been fed so it's Naptime. :-)

G'nad wanted to make sure you both knew how much he appreciated your hospitality during pianomoot. He said the food was wonderful and wondered if I could get the recipes. :-) In other news, the pianotunerguy comes this afternoon between noon and one...don't imagine g'nad will sleep much after that gets started. It's way out of tune though...even I can tell.

Getting a little much needed rain here.

Morning yourself...I understand there is a move in your future. I hope the plans for that are going smoothly. It looks as though the HH compound is forming in Washington. :-)

Have a great day,

Mrsnad
