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!

Yer welcome. Oh I meant to tell ya (speaking of organic) I saw the first preying mantis of the year out in the garden yesterday!

I've already gotten lettuce, mesclun, turnips, beets, 2 batches of radishes, peas, onions and cilantro out of it already. And those crazy undead tomaters are setting fruit.

How I love a garden!

Garden.... mmm... Are the bunnies loving you?

Whew, I can tell I worked out yesterday! Took about the same time or a little less but mannnn, my legs were complaining. At least the backpack did not throw me off balance. That's what I was worried about. I just have to work up to being able to carry fifteen pounds or so instead of five.

Yeah, I like the bumper stickers that say "Jesus is Coming, Look Busy!".

I remember travelling north to visit our cousins back in 1972. I was amused, going through the Carolinas and Virginia, to see painted on the tops of barns and outbuildings, "Get Right with God". Seems like a good idea, even today! ;o)

Yuk...

Darn it, I was going to stop and drop off some paperwork at the college this afternoon on my way home from work. Lugged everything here except for one piece. Guess I'll just have to drive up here after I get back. Sigh.

Ugh - I hate that! I try to make lists and stay organized and still succeed to forget things and have to make additional trips.

How about a day's take for a bunny. I've been pulling dozens out of the garden every day so... 60:1?

I had everything in a folder but I must have forgotten to put the one document in. So I have the folder... sigh. Oh well, I should be able to hand it in today and if not, the early deadline's not until tomorrow.

Off to the picnic. I've pasted a nice smile to my face. We'll see how long it lasts in this humidity.
