The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

Yep. It's catching those other guys that worries me. He's going to Stillwater tomorrow. I'll likely pick up Ma at the airport.

Heh heh...I still think that looks like an arterial bleed...but the point is taken.

Gosh, I remember sitting in the Hobbit Hole, after I'd bathed the boys and got them into bed, visiting with you guys...waiting for Steve to come home from school.

I haven't bathed the boys since they were little! They were little!

Hehehe...

Give our best to Steve...you all have come through so much together. We can't wait to see what is ahead for you.

The kids have been taking the Iowa Basics Skills Tests the last two days. Yesterday, they said "It was so easy"...today, I guess it was a little harder. We'll get the results in June/July and it will give me a good indication of where we need more work. The kids are tired. Tomorrow is a free day for us and on Friday we are going to Smittle Cave for a field trip.

G'nad is sleeping. Did you know he hates nights?...Me too!

Heh! Probably more like 'where they don't blow their peers out of the water quite as far'.

It took me until high school to find out that 99th percentile on standardized tests did not mean that I hadn't gotten 100%... heh... Mom was trying to keep my head from getting too swollen (it didn't work).

Ah, so that's why your weekend projects involve plants and Christmas lights and not car repair...
