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!

And just because I love her, I'll share this cute pic of Becky.

She went to the beach with some friends and I finally got some of the pictures. Had to crop out her friend though. :-D

No Elvis. I'm still up for it if we find the Sacred Order of Elopement monks somewhere.

Heh heh! Well, depending on what it is eating your plant, you can use several items...Diotomaceous Earth cuts the legs of some critters, Lady Bugs eat some, BT makes worms sick, then you can use the big guns, the last straw, so to speak and it's natural pyrethrins...which are very toxic to *every* insect but are not toxic to humans. It kills everything, though...earthworms, lady bugs, butterflies.

Two for four dollars. Still not cheap, but...

I have chicken thawing. Will probably use that garlic stuff on it, though I'm open to suggestions, and you're welcome to have half.

You have such pretty girls! Wonder where they get that from... ;-)

Mmm...palm trees. Brings back some good memories...

Yes, but you really need more space than a patio can offer. Crop rotation, companion planting, pepper/garlic waxes, neem, hand-picking, etc are all pretty harmless but take a lot of time.

I saw a lot of improvement last year with the companion planting - except for the squash bugs that went after my zuchs. The idea is to attract good predator bugs to eat the baddies while confusing the baddies over where their food source is.

Well...there are patron saints of engaged couples...

Maybe they're just supposed to help with patience, though. ;-)

She's really so pretty and so sweet. I don't deserve her. Now, she just has to grow into those big two front teeth. ;-)

~sigh~ I'm gonna have to buy a shotgun soon to keep the wolves at bay.

Patience? Bah! Next you'll be telling me that patience is a virtue or some other nonsense.

Marigolds are supposed to repel insects.

Otherwise, a good shot of carbaryl will get it...or imidicloprid...

I could have done without the first few minutes or with less -ahem- detail of life on a U-boat.

Internet is out at home. Comcast is sending a tech out this afternoon, so Hair won't be online until later today.
