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!

On the positive side, I did a pretty decent day of work, and it's a long weekend, so I guess I can feel good about life.

I'll say!

A long weekend is just what the doctor ordered. :-)

And I've got the other half of Lost to watch in a bit. Wish I had popcorn.

Speaking of shows cut in half...could they have ended House more abruptly?

That just ain't right. Or fair.

It's an interesting end...

We just watched a sweet British family film, "Millions". We had to put on the subtitles.

It was abrupt, wasn't it? It took me a minute to realize that it had all been in his mind from the time he was shot til they got him to the ER, which must not have been THAT long. Talk about your life flashing before your eyes! I love that show, though. We love the writing; so wicked and so funny!

*snort* Yeah, when you got those heavy accents, especially the Yorkshire and Welsh ones, it makes it tough to follow. We LOVE many British films and tv shows, though. If you ever get the chance, rent the film Rat. It stars Pete Poselthwaite, and you WILL need subtitles for that one.

Good Morning - beautiful morning, flags flying in our neighborhood. Coffeed up for the time being so we're off to the dogpark. Gypsygirl watched me type 'dogpark' so she trotted off to sit by the door.

Start with what's nearest to hand.

It's gonna get hot here... 80s today and tomorrow, 90s on Monday. I know you'll laugh. But it's muggy too. I am planning to spend a lot of time outdoors. Last night it was raining so I went out barefoot with most of my siblings and we played Calvinball in the rain.

Got some "winter" clothes packed up as well.

Well, I've put this off far too long.

We're going to Lowes to buy a screen for thenewbackdoor (it didn't come with one when we had it installed), and order a swingset for Luke.

May pick up some new corn plants, some coreopsis...and some hot pepper spray...

Then it's off to the funeral, the wedding and dinner with friends. See y'all vey late tonite or sometime tomorrow.

BTW, I watched the first four episodes of Lost, Season I last night...sigh...

Morning :~D

Well, we're going to the beach house today, not sure what we'll do this weekend, but I don't think riding will be part of it... it's pourin still.

Mornin' (for a few more minutes yet). Spent the morning doing garden and yard work. Turnips are in! Now I'm turning my sights toward getting the house ready for company tomorrow. We're having a cookout and the fam is coming. My name's not Martha, but I know how to host a good cookout.

No, wait, I mean...we have decided that with everything else we have to do today, Lowes can wait.

Whoa...I really slept in.

*yawn*

Not like there's much that can be done this weekend. Too wet. Maybe go to Value Village...though they're probably holding everything back for their big sale on Monday, which I don't think I wanna go to. Crowds...*shudder*
