The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...

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! |

Sigh... all this garden-y talk is making me feel lazy. My brothers have a little garden this year, they're trying to grow potatoes and flowers and I don't know what all.

Well, I've seen it coming for a while, but it still ain't fun. Basically, the company is "reorganizing", which involves closing this office and moving all operations to the home office in Florida. Some folks (myself included) will be staying on for a short transition period, but we are all encouraged to go ahead and begin looking for other employment. Nearly half of our staff was let go this morning.
Man, I ~hate~ looking for work. This hobbit doesn't like change.

Ah - I didn't see that you had actually almost announced this earlier. I didn't want to say anything till you had.
There was always a risk with such a small niche company that it wouldn't last, but it's at least been a terrific resume builder for you. It gives you some bullets about web design that you needed on your resume to find that kind of work again. You're bona fide now. ;~D
Heck... I don't want to wish you bad luck in the job search, but I'm kindof hoping it means we get to ride more this summer :~D
I love you, and we'll be just fine :~D
To: ecurbh; All
Oh man! Florida?! This isn't my fault, I swear it!
No worries, ecurbh. Something new and better will come along in no time. Prayers up!
In other news, the sheetrock is hanging nicely here now. :-)

Ya know... we're going to have to have some of you over sometime just to show you the sheetrock and point out that we really did hang it.

*whistling innocently*
We just got through watching Phantom of the Opera here.
You know love is true when a guy will sit through that kind of movie for ya! ;-)

The garden is relaxation therapy for me. Helps me get my mind off work and the stresses of reality. A good book'll do that, too, tho. The next Stephanie Plum novel comes out next month - wheeeee!

To: RMDupree
Well, I figured arming me and taking me shooting was a pretty good clue if I'd needed one. Of course, making me watch something like Phantom would have been an indication something was a little wrong but that's just me and my weird tastes.

The real test is "Love Story", according to Big'ol. Followed by "Terms of Endearment" (neither of which I've forced upon him...)

I left my really sappy stuff at home, but I'll keep those titles in mind if we happen upon a video store. *grin*

If you do that, you'll never leave the house the rest of the week :~D
I thought you'd seen season 1 though.
