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!

Uh, not the stuff in the Blue Bottle?

Finished up, repaired the fence, found a nice wasp nest (saw them before they got me) used the Wasp & Hornet spray and put up a new board. Dug out the hackberry and boxelder volunteers that were offending our finer sensibilities. :-)
LSA was spraying miraclegrow on the various flowers et al. (hope none of it landed on the grass, it's doing fine, really fine, since the rains.

Having a ginger beer, life is good.

Mmmm...ginger beer...

There are a lot of small soda companies out here...I should try some brands. I'm always on the look-out for the perfect ginger ale/beer. Stewarts is pretty good, but I like it spicy and not overly sweet.

Catching up on laundry, putting things up. Found a couple of screwdrivers that I've been looking for for a week. Can't decide what to fix with the steak.

Rosie - Yup, Stewarts is good, that's what we can get here. Have had several others while traveling, you're right, there does seem to be quite a variety made.

OT - glad you found the screwdrivers. :-) What goes with steak? most everything that I know of.

Got potatoes, onions and/or mushrooms. I suppose I should get a green vegetable out of the freezer.

Heh.

Just cooked the jedis a frozen pizza...forgot to take it off the cardboard. Set it right down on the cookie sheet, cardboard and all.

I'm glad I didn't leave it in the plastic...it seems to have done ok on the cardboard!
