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! |

Sure - we've got wire, come over and get it.
As for the 'other than flowers' - that's what photoshop is for :~D
To: HairOfTheDog
I'll get some while I'm over for the race, I guess. ;-)
Heh...I don't have photoshop and wouldn't know how to use it if I did. But it'd come in handy...this place needs serious photoshopping.

We use 'Corey's Slug and Snail Death' sniff, I love that name. Although Dicatomous (sp?) Earth will work, too. No, can't spell it but you're the chemicalist. :-)
We definitely concur, your house is on 'Varmints Gourmet Dining' I think it's on the cable networks...

It's been a sad day.
To the best dog I ever had....
I only wish that circumstances had allowed me to spend more time with you these last few years.
You were a puppy no one wanted and you turned out to be a dog that folks wished they had. A fantastic friend and guardian, who only asked for a scratch on the head in payment for your unflagging devotion.
Rest in peace, Scruffy. You are missed dearly. :-(

Sorry LF. My "it's been a sad day" wasn't in response to your "it's been a nice day".
I didn't see your post until just now.

(((Ruthy))) I still remember when we had to put our Kybo down. He had cancer so bad that it was causing his lungs to fill with fluid. We'd drain it off only to have it fill up again in a day or two. Still brings tears to my eyes thinking about that day. God Bless you and the girls.

Oh - Ruthy, I am sorry. I did not realize you had posted this earlier, even though I should have been looking for it.
But I do think it was a blessing that you could be there for Scruffy before you left, and you don't have to worry now.
Scruffy will be at the Rainbow Bridge
(((((((((((((((Ruthy))))))))))))))
To: RMDupree
[sigh] Sorry about Scruffy, hon...
I'm finally sitting down. xausted.

Morning - Thanks for link; interesting color scheme for the street. One way of making news. :-) OB & LSA
To: Overtaxed
Morning OT, well, what a difference a few hours and weather front makes. Kitty is sitting in the window and we've persuaded gypsygirl to leave the safety of the desk and go outside for a few minutes.
