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!

Hmmmm....don't see it in the Yellow Pages.....

[2Jedismom]

Heh heh!

[RosieCotton]

Might be under "Birds of Prey" rather than "Squirrel Termination".

[HairOfTheDog]

Well the earlier FRMail was the pic of the 'precious' Talon got to tempt Jen with, so you have, in fact seen it.

Where are they anyway?


Other flyin' FRMail I don't think you have... but we'll send if and when it comes to something :~D

[RMDupree]

Heading out of here in a few minutes.

Back later folkses! Happy Friday!

[RosieCotton]

*Might* be able to eliminate the "if" by next week sometime. The "when" is trickier.

[RosieCotton]

Where are they anyway?

[HairOfTheDog]

I've already got most of the work involved 'done' in my head ;~D

[HairOfTheDog]

BTW - Don't even think of applying for that IT job at The Evergreen State College. We have a nice Community College and a Nice Catholic University you can try to work at first :~D Not TESC. I trust you'll trust me on that :~D

[Lil'freeper]

WELL???

Status please.

[HairOfTheDog]

WELL???

Status please.

Speaking of nieces and nephews and babies and such, here's a pic of the current pair helping to un-decorate from Christmas:

They get a new little brother or sister in Sept. Aren't they supercute?

[Overtaxed]

What a let down....all I got was a "page not found" message. :)

[SuziQ]

I didn't watch the video, but one of the posters said there was a fence in the background. That DOES sound like a canned hunt to me, and that's disgusting.

[SuziQ]

*snort* That would be interesting to see.

[HairOfTheDog]

Could also be a ranch... cattle fencing in that country might look lion proof for good reason.

Either way, it sounds like it was botched.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh - yeah - I had to copy paste it and get rid of the quotes... someone should tell Talon there's no HTML in FRmail :~D

[SuziQ]

Oh, they are VEY cute!

[HairOfTheDog]

Supercute indeed!

[2Jedismom]

What sweeties!!!

I miss having a little one around...I look forward to my grandkids!
