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!

I've got one cabinet to organize before I start cleaning the fronts and then I'm done with the kitchen.

The thing is...that one cabinet is the WORST!

Our visitor bunny was watching SSQ and the kids cut down weeds in the backyard. I think he was annoyed with them; they're messing with his habitat! But we gots plenty more weeds where those came from.

SSQ says I have to stop at 48 cause he can't get me any more roses than that! ;o) That's OK with me.

I gots me a new grill and I'm cooking some chicken as we chat. The kids are baking a cake so they can make Strawberry/Blueberry trifle for me.

Happy Birthday to you, too!!

Evening OT - LSA says 'excellent choice on the paint color'.

Glad you got the yard work done, it's a regular 'lightin' show' out there. Rain and wind have arrived.

Gypsygirl has joined me on the couch.

Evening Bear, I'd like a 'report'; I saw the Gene Barry version at Mizzou at the "Free Flicks". I seem to recall another one, TV version, it focused on the radio show and the ensuing pandemonium.

Evening Corin & Happy Birthday -

Woodpeckers are cool; we have downy woodpeckers coming in to the finch feeder and occasionally the regular bird feeder.

Back in the late 70's, I was surveying for red-cockaded woodpecker habitat in Louisiana for the Highway Department.
OT had a woodpecker at her place but I think she run it off. :-)

Thanks muchly. This guy's been around a while. He likes the suet feeder. Thought we'd get him one of his own. It's ~suppposed~ to be squirrel proof.

Gots some pretty yellow finches. A cardinal couple, some blue jays and some doves.

More we can't identify yet (also gots a bird book).

It's passed us now. Miss cat raised her head and stared at me. Nothing hit close enough to make her jump but I unplugged all the computer stuff just to be safe.

Soooo....what color should I paint the bathroom? Are there any colors out there that feel warm in the winter and cool in the summer? Should I get something that sets off the silver (colored) hardware?

Glad to see you got blue jays, the jays and crows were hit by west nile around these parts pretty hard. There used to be blue jays all over, we had several that would come for peanuts in the shell every morning and yell like blazes if we were late with them. Now, just a couple every now and again.

We've got one that I'm pretty sure yells at me when the feeder is empty.

Nana swears she's seen 'em come up on the deck and look in the door.
