The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Things with a very high sugar content keep pretty well when in the fridge...like jam and stuff. The sugar might well have kept it from going south.

I don't think I will.

If my kids spot these cookies baking, they'll want some - even if they had green on them!

OK, I checked out the cookie dough and it looks and smells fine - if not a wee bit refrigerator-y. ;-)

I may go ahead and back a batch this weekend to see what happens.

They don't seem to get further north than the Lake of the Ozarks area. Generally the ground is frozen enough north of there in the winter to keep them south. I understand they get frostbite as well, was told that, don't know if it's true or not.

Got the nuggets in for the night...tucked away in their tote. They're growing very well! But they are not as friendly as the hens were. Not "socialized" at all.

They're just chickens...like one normally thinks of chickens, I guess. Not pets.

I saw one on the road in Kansas. Squished. It was very weird.

Steve and I went on our honeymoon to San Diego! Rented a car and spent New Years in Ensanada (sp) Mexico. That's where I bought my cheap red Mexican dress...that Steve washed with all my white tee-shirts just as soon as we got home.

Yah... though SD is a much better place, IMO. Have spent many hours in my younger days... exploring the town on my lips. :-)

This trip is for a conference, and I'll be spending a couple of long days all day with my boss. He's kinda intense. I should be wound pretty tight by the time I leave on Thursday. [sip]

BTW, all this talk of cookies got me hungry.

I'm devouring a bag of chocolate teddy grahams.

....mmmm...chocolate grahams...

Holy moly... I don't think I'd drive to Ensenada. Have floated there though. Fun town.
