The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Sea Stories, huh?

Like jumping up off the deck just as you crest a big wave? *shudder*

Well, even though I got 100 on both shotgun and revolver, it posted the Python, it didn't post a pic of the shotgun. Doesn't appear anyone else here got a shotgun pic or we could id which one was used as the example.

Just thought you might be avoiding us or something. Shouldn't take you long to catch up, we didn't do anything tonight.

yeah yeah yeah... gotta lotta squirrels right now... their eatin' muh Concords...

chipmunks....why does it have to be chipmunks...

We have a handful of squirrels that eat from the bird feeder. They're thieves, but the respectable type.

But the yard is overrun with chipmunks. How do I get rid of 'em, or at least keep 'em out of the garden. I think I have some pepper spray from last year, but is there anything else I can do?

Canada Geese. Fill the yard with 'em. Chipmunks hate 'em. That should do it. :-)
