The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Pass them by! Pass them by!

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!

What's jeopardy?
A quiz show I think?

Hi, Alkhin,

My server's been down so I'm late replying to this. Anyway, I used to have that problem when I was active on a martial arts mailing list (where disagreements tend to escalate into duels) and I wanted to get away from that, so when I signed up for FR I resolved to limit my discussions to threads that wouldn't make me angry like that. It usually works--usually, LOL! In any case, I hope you'll find a way to resolve your blog addiction in a way that allows you to keep in touch and continue with your writing.

Should I just keep addin' stuff to it? Or does it need another "element?"

I just started piling crap up. Weeds, grass shrub trimmings, kitchen scraps, etc. The biggest part of the whole thing seems to be turning it over every few weeks. The soil coming out of the bottom of the pile looks fantastic.

I didn't eat one of those in about 20 years, I don't think.
Are they any good?

Thanks! That is great. I wasn't able to get an address for PVT Tom yet, he just checked in Monday. Should be able to find out more this week. I need to call my aunt to get the other addy for you.

We are fortunate to have one the leading organic gardening guru's in our area. His webiste The Dirt Doctor is pretty good, and his sunday show on WBAP radio is great.

Msdrby and I saw Pvt Tom's step-mom at church sunday. She'll pass along his APO as soon as she gets it. We told her about the ongoing care packages, etc.
