The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

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!

Having some coffee in a proper coffee mug

Morning.

I think I could use a second mug myself. The proper coffee cups...the ones I used to serve company... are on the van. :)

It's a flylady weekend. I have to get rid of some clutter before the clutter gets here.

Heh... I've been lookin' around for the last couple of days thinkin I thought this place was more decluttered than I found it when I got back. Three weeks away sure makes the clutter show up. It musta been *really* bad before I got rid of all that stuff!

Hehehe....I like to think of my decorating style as "relaxed clutter."

Heh... lots of those in my family. It always makes me feel *worse* about mine.

PurpleQ is one of those great housekeepers. I was telling her one day how much I wish my house looked more like hers. She laughed at me and said that she thinks my house is great. She said when she sees my stacks of craft stuff, books, camping gear etc. she loves it because she knows that I know what to do with everything here! hahaha

I'm too busy doing stuff with stuff I got to get rid of it as clutter.

Everytime I put something in its "place" I never can find it again.

Did you have that problem at the old place?

At my old house I could find *everything*.

Now that I got a bigger house - and bigger garage, I can't find stuff. I *know* where everything would be at the old house still - but can't find stuff here!

Yes. It always took me a while to find the salt if it's put away in the pantry like it's supposed to be. Leave it on the counter and it's all right. :)

Speaking of clutter, I need to get back on the stick with eBay. Next up: bound copies of Harpers Magazine from the 1880s and -90s.

I have 3 places for salt in my kitchen. 2 shakers and the box in a cabinet. That way I should be able to grab it anytime.

I'm still havin' trouble with automotive stuff and sewing stuff. Don't know where they belong. Might help if I'd quit movin' 'em to new spots so they'd be easier to find.

So, how's ebay working for you on stuff?

Maybe that's what I need to do.

It's the box that was the problem. When I salt things whilst cooking, I usually use the box and if it's not on the counter.....

So far: 3 books sold at a penny apiece; calculated cost of listing, packaging and mailing, charged that and got it; result, for the cost of one stop on the way to work, netted $.03. WooHoo!

With more popular or collectible items, the competition of bidding should (I hope) result in higher profits...
