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!

Looks like. The ball games are at half-time and the race is on commercials.

I'm getting some homework done... want to run to the library and see if I can't find some other herb seeds while I'm at it.

Rosemary and cilantro are all so far.

Kewl! I think my rosemary that I tried to overwinter indoors is dying. And the flat Italian parsley is all going to seed so I might have to replace that too.

I'm going more for flowers than herbs right now, but I want to try a few at least and I've still go space.

Never had the chance to shoot or hear the .22 Jet; it was a rare breed in the early days and even moreso now. I have heard that the blast was all out of proportion to 'a .22'. That must have been something else, kinda wish I was there. :-)

Could Jen plant some herbs in the same pots as flowers? If the flowers are tallish, couldn't she put some lower growing herbs in with them? Same for tallish herbs and low growing flowers?

Do you, Bear or Rose know anything about the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe AZ? Clare had seen some info about the school at a college fair last year and was intrigued. Joseph is even MORE interested, so we wanted to get some other outside info on it.

It is largely a computer tech type school, but they offer Bachelor's Degrees in Software Engineering, 3-D Animation, Digital Film Studies, and Game Design. Clare is bummed because they don't offer Japanese as a Modern Language choice, but who knows, they might start doing that if enough students ask for it. I'd think, doing the Animation, they'd have enough students who were intersted in Anime, so they'd think about starting up a program at least for a couple of years of the language!

Anyway, if you know anything or know anyone who does, please let me know and I'll pass along the info to Clare.

Don't know anything about it, sorry. But, I would recommend researching the history of the school (especially how long they've been around) to find out if their degrees are going to be considered "genuine", or worthless.

Why on earth does the choir have to be at church a whole hour early this morning?

Oh don't even start with me. We had to be there at 7:30 and finished the second service at 12:30.

Psst... tell Clare that CSU offers Japanese as a major, even... though the graphics courses aren't too rich at an undergraduate level.

But I have to drive for forty-five minutes to get there... wine... and I have lost my comfortable white shoes in the packing somewhere so I had to wear the hideously toe-pinching painful shoes. And we stand on a hard wood surface. And we stood for the whole practice.

Nobody was wearing spring dresses, either, and it wasn't that cold.

I took the plunge and planted the rhubarb in the planter box. Also repotted a philodendron to take to work and planted Miss Cat some grass to gnaw on.

You'll get no sympathy from me.
