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! |

You know "he needed killin'" is still a valid defense in the South.

I prefer prepositions myself.

Yup. And they would apply it to anyone putting that stuff on their bar-b-q.

Beef doesn't qualify as barbecue.

I love interjections!
Show excitement, or emotion. Generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point. Or by a comma if the feeling's not as strong.
Wow! I love my Beetle!
Hey, do you think it'll ever run?
Heh heh!

The book is fantastic, Matthew's science book. We were going over the lesson and it pointed out that God designed the sun to emit just the right light waves that best penetrate our atmosphere and it's the best color for our eyes to work with.
I stopped and looked at Matthew and said "Isn't that astounding!"
I really had to just pause and contemplate that for a while! LOL!

Actually... if the sun was created first, wouldn't it have been our eyes that were designed to work with the light waves emitted by the sun, and not the other way around? ;~)

Or, the sun was created for our future eyes...
Either way...it's astounishing how it all works together.
Supposedly, our eyes see yellow best. Funny, 'cause I don't care for the color yellow...it actually hurts my eyes. (Like highlighters.) I can stand it, but I prefer pink or blue highlighters.

My Beetle is yellow, but it's a very soft color yellow, not bright at all. More white in it, I guess. The color of butter.
The original color is a bit brighter and I wish I could just have it painted to match the color it is now. However, that isn't in keeping with our philosophy of this restoration...the idea is to "put it back".
Still, it isn't an obnoxious yellow, like some I've seen. Or a baby poop yellow, which is just down right ugly.

The color of the Beetle was just something I had been thinking deeply about just last night...whilst consuming cholesterol medicine.
So that's that...

Or a baby poop yellow, which is just down right ugly. I saw a man in the airport last week dressed in head-to-toe linen (you could tell from the wrinkles) the color of orange baby poop.

It was a drapey, blousey shirt and drapey, blousey slacks. Same fabric. Very Carribean. The color of orange baby poo. I was doing NaNo prep at the time and made a note of it in the margin of my notebook. His plane was going to Miami. Linen just does *not* travel well. Linen is good if you're going to stand up all day and not move.

I'm a rabid NC BBQ junkie and enjoy the delicious and succulent diversion of a properly smoked, moist beef brisket every now and then.

You do know that teenage Boy Scouts wouldn't say "poo" don't you?

*Sigh*
Now I want some Lexington Barbecue.

No, but they would get a lot of mileage making fun of someone who did.
Thus speaks the voice of experience.
