The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

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!

Gorgeous! What kind of contest? Let us know if you get awards and acclaim!

We're still a month away from any color on our tomatos.

Okay. There's a creek a couple of blocks north of me. There's a flood warning for Indian Creek and I don't remember the name of the nearest creek. Just wondered if I should be moving the car. :)

Corin - jeepers, that was heap was runnin' around. Doubt I could get it done in a weekend.

Virginia waterleaf might be appropriate for a shady spot, primrose is nice but seems to attract slugs and I know you have a better use for malt beverages than filling slug traps. :-)
If you have a sunny spot, for something different, try a mullien, aka flannel plant to Ozarkians. They're biennals, bloom the second year with an impressive stalk of yellow flowers. The mulliens also tolerate most any kind of dirt-type material.

Looks interesting. I'll have to check them out.

Nana brought a bunch of "poker lilies" from North Carolina.

Wow.... That Eisenhower one is hilarious! Tell me people haven't changed. That commercial would get a candidate laughed out of the campaign now!

Any chance you remember the two old codgers I bought hay from the first year I was here? I know I remember talking about them. They grow local hay which is cheaper than the Eastern Washington stuff I buy at the feed store. I bought a hundred bales or so from them that year, and my friend Lisa came to help unload it. I was glad I asked her to help because when I talked to the old guy the first time, and he said he and his ~son~ would come by to deliver it, I pictured that his son was under 70. These are wirey old guys, still working that hard!

Last year I didn't have their number, and bought hay from someone else. These two guys showed up about a week later asking if I wanted hay again, but I had already bought it. I felt bad for not being able to give them the business.

Well, they weren't gonna miss me this year. They are baling now, and stopped by to ask me! I told them I would buy at least 100 bales, as much as we can fit.

Now ecurbh and I have to get some room made in the barn.
