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!

Good morning!

Worst of the winds passed through here at about 4am, but it's much quieter now. Not much damage besides fallen trees and debris everywhere, so we're VEY lucky.

And power is ON! Yippee! It's still a bit overcast, but nice and cool. I'm lovin' that!

Ramius - sorry about your pooter. Now, hurry up and fix it. :-D

Penny - Good luck, chica. Check in when you can and let us know how it went.

winmag - What you say!? Turn off every "zig". *grin*

Morning All - Beautiferous Saturday morning, Gypsygirl has had her walk, several different things on the agenda today.

OT-guess the best thing to do is give the plants a good loooong drink of water afore you toward the Westernesse.

G'nad-cannas are starting to make progress, knee high average, several double plants. Only lost one so far of the dozen volunteers I transplanted. I has hoping for a 50 percent survival rate. Might have beat the odds.

You ain't kidding, osage.

I didn't want to sign off so early last night, butI didn't want to end up with a broken computer either :-/

Fortunately,it all worked out and going to bed a bit earlier did me a world of good anyway.
