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!

When I got back from the Pancake Breakfast, a little after noon, I was exhausted. Had put BBQ Beef in the crock pot before I left at 6:30 this morning, so I didn't have to do anything to get lunch ready. After lunch, I cruised the web, and piddled around with the house plans til about 3:00, then conked out until about 6:30! Sure felt better when I woke up, though!

Well, I presented my son with the knife last night; and he wants me to say a big "thank you" to the Hobbit Hole. He said it's a great knife and will travel with him to Mississippi and on to Kuwait; and he also appreciated the scissors, which every medic needs; he didn't have a pair of his own and now won't have to "borrow".

So..........Thank You! from Pfc. Evan S. of the Wisconsin Army National Guard.

I actually slept for an hour and a half...something I never do! Kind of a dozing type sleep...I was aware of Joshua laying his cheek on my forehead a couple of times and once I caught myself reaching for something I was semi-dreaming about...

Very unusual for me to lay down and sleep in the middle of the day, but I had a very exhausting morning up to that point. I did feel somewhat refreshed when I got up!

They lay for about 18 months almost every day, then they molt...then they should start up laying again, but at a much diminished rate. Jar Jar, Roy and Benny Hen went through the molt...Jar jar lays almost as good now as she ever did. Benny lays pretty good. Roy isn't laying at all. The Americaunas (the newbies) lay every day, they are too young to molt.

So both Puffy and Roy are non-layers now...

Steve and I had a long talk about how it's gonna be on the farm. Each jedi can have one pet hen and that's it (after these 5 have gone on to their just reward). Then we'll be getting about 25 hens and rotating them every 18 months with a fresh batch.

It was a great time! This afternoon we had our wedding cake "top" that's been in the freezer for a year...

...and then we went out for seafood, had a seafood pasta with a lobster tail at the Oyster House where we went with all of you on the Oly waterfront.
