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!

These that I washed were so filthy...some of them have wheels and the wheels wouldn't turn! They had spider nests and egg sacs inside them! They'd been just sitting on the porch for a long long time, not played with, and I figured at least I should clean them up and give them to someone in BA CHEF or something..

Now, wouldn't ya know it...Joshua is playing with them! Heh heh!

The legos don't bug me... legos are cool. If they need washing, well... women are convinced that men can't get along without them anyway and if the legos are among those things that need to be cleaned I'll get to them eventually ;-)

Legos last a LONG time. A childhoods worth of playing with them will leave them vaguely gritty at best from finger oils picking up dirt. Mom has all my old legos. Most of what I have now was picked up off ebay and suffers from the same problem. It is not enough dirt to SEE but it is there a bit. Some of them smell vaguely of smoke from having been in a smoking household. As for HAVING legos. Well I have more hobbies than I have time for. Adults with legso can do things that kids only dream of. Like this for example. Not something of mine (I don't have THAT mich time), but pretty cool.

Matthew's worktext asked him to write down the names of three of his classmates. (It's designed for private schools, originally...)

I told him to put down Cartman, Kyle and Kenny.

He just hasn't been in love yet ;~D and anyway... I'm sure you've reported that he barfed.
