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!

Those are disturbing.

I went and looked at flowers. They were pretty. Unwisely the florist did not hit me with the estimate while I was still in flower-shock, he's mailing it to me in a week.

Yikes. I can only imagine. :-/

Can you tell us what you picked or are you keeping it a secret for now? :-)

Hadta stop by thestore on the way home to pick up Father's Day cards for my stepdad.

It's just so hard to find the right card that says "Happy Father's Day you cantankerous old coot."

hehehehe...

Not nearly as strange as sending a Father's Day card to your dad congratulating him on his new son.

Ack! I figured. The bandwidth just got sucked dry...

Well, if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll give you an alternate means. I found a full set of files.

Let me know if you have trouble playing the files once you get 'em...I've got a couple of good (free) programs for such like.
