The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

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!

Yeah, we'll plan on getting to the airport at least 1/2 hour earlier than we usually do for our flight in a couple of weeks. Thankfully, it'a AFTER Aug. 22, when President IwannaJihad has warned us Iran is really, really gonna do something newsworthy.

Ya know, Rosie, those tires don't look too bad when they're full of veggies & flowers!

Heh...they still ain't pretty, but they're better. Though...now I have a bunch that are full of nothing but dead stuff. Even with watering as much as I was, the heat and dryness was too much for the herbs and lettuce, for the most part.

I think the "high geranium" that we got Nana for her birthday is a goner.

I've watered it daily since we got back. It rained yesterday and is raining today. But I think it's done fried.

People have been complaining about security forever. And ya know...if you just go along with it and don't try to make a stink about little things like taking off your shoes for a minute, it isn't a big deal. It's only a big deal if you make it so.

Granted, I've never been the one singled out for the full treatment. But one of my brothers has - twice in about as many trips. Still didn't take all that long.

Bah humbug...No rain for us. I finally cut down my poor pitful eggplant yesterday, it was totally burned up. LSA

This picture from that thread cracked me up, too.

I think there was another one - "Rent-a-Wailer"...can't find it, though.

It wouldn't be so bad if I had decent AC in the car! But as it is, we're home and not going anywhere.

You do have some sort of AC in the house, right?
