The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

Waiting for the sunroom is a good idea. We'll have some iris if you want some of them, same with daylilies.

Kewl! I'm thinking about doing a shade garden thing beside the gate with at least some hostas and maybe I'll plant some impatiens or something and I was thinking about doing ferns on the garage end of the house. I guess I'll do some bedding plants in the planter boxes and something for between the planter box and the front walk - ajuga comes to mind but I'll need something else that's low growing to make it interesting.

BTW - no progress on the sunroom yet. Last I heard from them, they wanted to know if I had a survey of the property. I expect they're doing the bureacratic paperwork crap.

LSA says there is some hostas available as well. They need to be thinned a bit.

Kewl! Hopefully there won't be any deer in the neighborhood to eat them all.

Probably won't have worry bout deer, but be sure to lay in a stock of Cory's Slug and Snail Death. The hostas sure do attract them for some reason.

I've got some slug bait.

Maybe I should put the rhubarb in the planter box.

Times have sure changed, I shot on the Knights of Columbus rifle team in high school, in a basement range, .22 rifle. Ear protection? What's that.

.22 rifle, even indoors, isn't too bad without ear protection. .22 handgun still makes my ears ring, so I wear ear muffs or plugs. By far the worst was the .22 Remington Jet, which was a .357 necked down to .22. No recoil, since the bullets were so light, but the noise and muzzle blast was horrendous. That's what got me kicked off the indoor range at the armory. Far worse than the .45ACP the range was intended for.

The dents the rounds were making in the backstop did not win me any friends, either.

NCState just beat UConn. My bracket just keeps getting worse and worse. As long as AZ keeps winning, I'll be happy, though.

They've got S. Illinois and Oklahoma State on here.

I'm listening to Yahoo Sports, watching the game on the portable, and have the race on the "big TV."
