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!

Good evening! Glad to hear you had a chance to enjoy yourself a bit. ;)

Missed it by 3 seconds!

We are supposed to have rain here through the weekend too. I am going to Meridian tomorrow to try for the bike ride with my friend again tomorrow but I'm not counting on it. Neither of us minds riding in the rain - but you know, for a pleasure ride - *why?*

The big event for this town is the annual Fourth of July parade. Uncle Lynn is the chairman of the organization committee and he's already thinking it may get canceled this year. *sigh* Kinda sad for a small town like this. There aren't any other holidays that we have a big town get-together like this. And there's always a big fireworks show out in the river bottom.

However, my favorite part of Fourth of July in Valley Mills is that after the parade there are tables and tables of homemade ice cream freezers all ready to eat!!! MMMmmm..... homemade ice cream!!! In every flavor under the sun!!! It is yummy and I always try to be at that end of the parade to get the good choices! :-)

[Corin Stormhands]

Hmmmm....we gots Nana's ice cream freezer around her somewhere...

[Corin Stormhands]

I planted me some cilantro tonite. ;-)

[Wneighbor]

Sounds VEY good huh? :-)

I like the peach... but sometimes I have peanut butter with chocolate! :-) Dunno if we'll get it this year if it keeps rainin'.

[Wneighbor]

I planted me some cilantro tonite. ;-)

Cool! You got your seeds huh? :-)

Wonder if the post office had to inspect them? :-)

[Corin Stormhands]

We stop at a produce stand on the way to the beach house to stock up on, well produce, for the week. They do ice cream smoothies with fresh peaches....mmmm....

[Corin Stormhands]

Heh...I got a chuckle out of the "rattle okay" on the package.

(they came whilst you were at wedding moot, I posted a TY to Entmoot, but I reckon you was too busy mooting)

[Wneighbor]

Oh man!!! That sounds yummy! I will be taking a big bag of fresh peaches home with me from my Uncle Brent's house when I head back to WF. More preserves will be made! But, only after a generous amount of peaches are just eaten. :-)

[Wneighbor]

Yeah, I missed that! I was pretty busy mooting. I like mooting you know! :-D

[Wneighbor]

Can I request eagles?

[Ramius]

You need eagles?? Got yer cell phone?

[Corin Stormhands]

I don't really know much about mooting no more...*snif*...

[RMDupree]

But we moot here in the Hobbit Hole every day! :-)

[Wneighbor]

please!

[Corin Stormhands]

Yes, but some people actually do it. Some can just talk about it...

[RMDupree]

*grin* How long until Entmoot 2005 again?

[Corin Stormhands]

I dunno. Did we set a date?

Last thing I want to do is show up on Stinky's doorstep unannounced...

[RMDupree]

I definitely want a set date! I don't want to end up like that rogue 'coon did!!
