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!

Spammity!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Oops, misjudged my spammity.

[RosieCotton]

Haven't gotten the e-mail yet...is there a way to force a send on your end?

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't think so - It's sent...

Hang on... I'll up upload it and send you a link.

[HairOfTheDog]

It's in your FRMail... :~D

[RosieCotton]

Thanks...got it.

And just now, after I mailed the FRMail one, the other showed up. Dunno what took it so long. It isn't very big.

[RosieCotton]

Discussed it. Need to make a few changes, but I think I can do it. And some of the changes actually simplify things. ;-)

Do you guys have pencils, by any chance? Otherwise I may hafta go to *town*. Need 'em to do some guide lines. I'm spaced out, man. Or not.

I should probably just run out and get some graph paper, but Office Depot is awfully far away.

[ecurbh]

I think we do have a pencil around here somewhere...

[ecurbh]

Woohoo!! Dook lost!

[ExGeeEye]

Pore Dook.

[RosieCotton]

If you don't have one I can borrow, I guess I can go to Fred Meyer.

Tam is making odd sounds because Halvah doesn't want to play with him right now.

[ecurbh]

All is right with the world. ;~D

[ecurbh]

Yup, we got one.

[Rose in RoseBear]

Rosie, if you go to Office Depot, look at the Foray pens with the 3mm metal point. And the graphite ink pens that look like wooden pencils!

They're soooooo cool!

[Overtaxed]

Futility.....

[ecurbh]

Buh-bye...

[Overtaxed]

[RosieCotton]

One of these days I'm gonna get you into fountain pens...maybe one with an italic nib...

Plus you have wayyyyyyy more ink color choices with fountain pens.

Mmmm...ink...

Though it isn't exactly cooperating tonight. This should be soooo simple, but it isn't.

[JenB]

It never is as simple as it should be.

Ungh. Lousy day. I guess I'll just go to bed now. Hopefully tomorrow is an improvement.

[Rose in RoseBear]

Like so?
