The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Yeah, it would be if I didn't have a headache and was therefore short of patience. I had the little brother in the back seat of the car when I was running my other brother to work and he refused to sit properly and it was just driving me up the wall. I'm just a little irritated today. Plus I have one ear completely blocked and can't hear in it and I have trouble understanding the little brother's speech because of that.

You are right of course...

I been thinkin' 'bout them 'yotes. I don't think I can take on the responsibility of more critters.

You reckon you could get 'em to pee in a bottle once or twice a month and then ship that off to me?

It'd be appreciated.

Yeah, OT's right that the stores will have the right stuff to plant at the appropriate time.

To find out what will grow in your area, you can check sites like Better Homes & Garden, or HGTV. Stuff like that will point you to the places that tell you the zone you're in.

Or try contacting your local extension office when you get there (when yuh ain't distracted or sumthin')
