The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

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!

I got about four hours of sleep last night.

Now they've advanced to loud arguing, in addition to the "music" and shouting. Funsies.

So I'm guessing the movie wasn't set in Pennsylvania? The roads are already post-apocalyptic there.

Michigan roads make me envious of Pennsylvania. The bumps and chuckholes are pre-built into the road when it's built. Heaviest-on-the-planet truck weights then speed up the process.

You are brave planting maters and okra this early!

I want to be pinged to all garden comments...it's my latest obsession.

You and Rosie both! I think she should move out to Oklahoma instead of Washington and have a garden with you :-)

Lovely flowers! We usually plant only a few plants and then eat the okra right off the stalk in the garden when they are small and tender. It never makes it into the house! LOL! Like cherry tomatoes and snow peas. Joshua eats most of them on the spot.

I've got them going indoors....don't plan to put them outside until May.

TheSunRoom is going to look like a greenhouse.

"I guess this is stuff I could Google..."

You could, but then there wouldn't be this nice conversation!

Some okras grow really tall like corn. You can plant pumpkins amidst them and the okra will shade the pumpkins and they'll grow in around the okra.

Ahhh! Do you have a special grow light?

I've always wanted one of those special grow light indoor green house plant starter set-ups!

I tell ya, that curry nearly killed me last night in the night! Missed worship this morning because I was too tired! (We have worship first, then Sunday School...we made it to Sunday School.)

Yeah. Got my Dad's grow light. But everything won't fit under it when they start getting big.

Nice! Is it called a "Full-Spectrum" bulb? I'd really like one someday...

Heh heh! It's called Heart Burn and it's what old people get when they eat spicy foods too late in the evening!

I finished the rest of it, for lunch today! I shouldn't suffer tonight.
