Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

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!

The pictures definately show us as well as your words, that it was a lovely day, and the couple couldn't look happier. They both look radiant in all the pictures.

Thanks, Corin and Lilfreeper, for making us feel like we got to share in it a little!

The priest actually said Mawwage the night before. My favorite was during the first reading at the rehearsal. Talon's sister was reading from Genesis, and when she got to the part about removing the rib, he said "ouch". We all got a good one out of that.

The ribs are all gone...sorry. I didn't bring the digital camera so I don't have pictures.

Ribs were good, though. :)

I've got almost 0.6 inches in therainguage.

Are you still gone or did you eat and fly home to check your rain gauge? LSA

Beautiful shot!

I'm assuming that means y'all made it safely to Niagara Falls.

Welcome Home!! Hope your flight missed the thunderstorms--we didn't get but .3 inches, the thunder, however, sent Gypsy to her hidey hole under the computer desk.
