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! |

A little taller and heavier than that... the stuff you frequently see around pasture.
To: HairOfTheDog
Ah, OK. That's pretty much what I used for the dogs, though I only needed very short stuff for them. I guess it wasn't true rabbit wire - it had rectangles like the fence in the picture - smaller at the bottom and bigger at the top. The feed store would sell it, right?
I like this idea.
Man...have I dominated the conversations today or what? ;-)
To: RosieCotton
I bet it's a little heavier than what you bought only because they don't sell this stuff in rolls less than 330 feet. It's woven rather than welded together for more strength, it's substantial enough to be a decent barrier, and with barbed wire on top, people would be reluctant to climb it. And you can plant ivy or vines on it too, to turn it into more of a screen.
To: HairOfTheDog
Hm...vines, and also beans. Did that with the dogs' fence. Worked well! But ivy would be rather more permanent... ;-)
To: RosieCotton; Corin Stormhands
Man...have I dominated the conversations today or what?Well, someone has to, Corin hasn't been around... *ducking*

Well...I read the e-mail, anyway!
FReepmail comin'. It's a yammer. I've been good at that today. ;-)
To: RosieCotton; HairOfTheDog

Nice... :-)

You know, unless Saruman has a really big hand, his palantir is actually more the size of a bocce ball.A lot of props were made in two or three scales. Maybe they used the wrong size of palantir for that shot. I always thought of it as basketball-size. Or maybe they had "compact" versions, too. Or the big ones were used in conference rooms.
I wonder what happened to the tens of thousands of "ordinary" props that they made? Maybe PJ has them stashed away for The Hobbit.
To: Ramius
Yeah, it really does look pretty good!
I had scarlet runner beans, too. Pretty flowers, pretty beans, and they were pretty tasty.
Something like this could also work. Or there's a kit with a buncha different kinds.
To: RosieCotton
THose are just lovely! I love climbing plants. I had a deep purple clematis climbing on my mailbox for a couple of years, then we had a drought one summer and killed it back.

And then electrify the wire and leave the corpses as a warning to other trespassers...

Just hafta hope they wear colors that don't clash with the flowers. Corpses on fences are so *tacky* when they don't blend in.
To: SuziQ
I really love deep purple and blue flowers. And red!
Jen pointed these out just now. Aren't they gorgeous? Even a garden of pretty much *just* those would look nice and colorful!
To: RosieCotton
Celosia are gorgeous. If you plant them in front of a bed that has some Moonbeam Coreopsis, it would be stunning,
or even a bed of Blue Wedgewood Iris,
or both!

And then electrify the wire and leave the corpses as a warning to other trespassers... I was thinking more along the lines of severed heads on pikes along the driveway. But... I'm flexible.

I think Celosia are fairly close in height to the Moonbeam Coreopsis, so I'm not sure if it would work in front. But...bet you could do some realllly neat things by making stripes of one and the other, or planting one as a border to the other. Or is that kinda what you meant?
Could certainly look nice! Lotta color.
