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!

"what's this, precious?"

Ah yes, the hazards (or not) of living in an LOTR household!
We say that all the time, "My Precious".

[SuziQ]

They'd prefer you to stay home and eat beef.

Yowza, that thing's comin' together quick, hon!

[TalonDJ]

I wish I could build me one of those... 'cept it would fill up about 100% of my puny yard and the neighbors might complain.

[RosieCotton]

Dang...that's coming together fast!

[RosieCotton]

Heh...I'm thinking something more like this would work for my little place...not a workshop, though. Just a nice place for outdoor tools. Mmmm...tools.

Maybe I can find some of those at garage sales, too. Shovels and rakes and whatnot.
