Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Then world behind and home ahead
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! |
|

Next time they come down here or to our place, we have to make sure Cisco can come! He'd like Tricksey :~)
Tricksey's a runner! :~\ And she doesn't yet know her name, she sent us on a couple of entertaining chases, so we tied Tricksey to a piece of driftwood to slow her down :~)
Why does this thing keep following me?
Tricksey and Homer like to play :~D
Gidget playing as usual :~) Aly down by the water...
And Homer wanting the stick Becky is playing with :~D

Saw an unusual sight on the way home... A forest fire North of Mt. Rainier... probably on the east slopes, but visible from the west side.
Or there's a new volcano... one of the two :~)

The mountain is really out today, isn't it? Part of the way to church, I'm heading right in that direction - vey pretty view today.
Kewl photo...
To: RosieCotton; RMDupree; All
A couple more pictures of kids and dogs and beaches, now that I've been able to look through and crop them :~D
Here's a pretty good portrait of Tricksey soakin' wet :~D
And here she is looking like a pit bull :~D
And judging from the momentum on Homer and the lack of hold on the ground she has, I think she went down on this one :~)
And here's Homer and Aly.... Aly really likes Homer.

Heh...yeah, I'm guessing that third photo captures the moment before the "ooof!"...
Tricksey doesn't look all that much smaller than Cisco. Bet they'd have fun together.
To: RosieCotton
They would - next time, we have to get them together :~D... maybe they'll come here. She's fast like him when she wants to be. Tying her to the driftwood helped - She couldn't get too far that way :~D

Great pictures!
Tricksey looks like a wolf in some of those shots. :-D
And poor Homer. Looks like he's thinking "OK. Who left me with the kid?"
We'll plan to come down weekend after next. I'd like to see what you've done to kitty-proof the squirrel feeder - in person.

Yep. Catnip.
Miss Kitty likes it dried....sometimes. I believe she likes store-bought better.
I like to make catnip tea sometimes before bed. A cup of catnip/lemon balm tea makes me really sleepy!
To: Overtaxed
How do you give it to her? Does she actually eat it or just rub on it?
When we'd get catnip mice from the store, our old kitty used to just rub his face on them, but he never chewed them or ate the catnip.

She does both. The commercial kind comes all chopped up in flakes. If I put a little pile of it in a dish...well, more likely a plastic snap-on lid..she'll chomp on it for a while. If I put it on the carpet, she'll roll in it. I've got a Ziploc bag of commercial catnip that she likes to lie on.
To: Overtaxed
Interesting... if she were out would she nibble or lie in the plant? I'm thinking about whether I should plant some here.

Probably lie in it. You have to put the plants out when they're big enough to survive a cat roll or two. I used to have neighbor cats come over all the time for a roll in the 'nip.
To: HairOfTheDog; RMDupree
Evening, those are great pictures. I'd hazard a guess that the doggies had a great time on the beach.
Tricksey is quite a dog, Congrats Ruthy, you can pick 'em.
That is quite a tide you have there.
To: Overtaxed
Each of our cats reacted differently to it, some dug it, some ignored it.
To: osagebowman
hehehe....once I put a few catnip sprigs in Miss Cat's carrier when I took her for a checkup. The offic cat kept trying to get in the room... you could see this paw stretching in under the door. Finally the office person came in and wanted to know if I had catnip in there. I gave the office cat a sprig or two.

My cats will eat some of it, but mostly just roll it in and get goofy. The loose stuff from the store seems to be the strongest, though it's messy. Somtimes I'll throw some down and then vacuum up what they didn't nibble after they've lost interest.
This is Tam on catnip. Frightening, isn't it?
