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!

[Lil'freeper]

Yup. They need supports. I tied them into the pea fence.

Bunches of big happy flowers you don't have to stoop far to smell.

I love marigolds.

[SuziQ]

You gotta be in it to win it!

[Overtaxed]

Hmmmm....you have to stake 'em,huh. Maybe I shouldn't get them...the stakes would ruin the hedge effect.

[Lil'freeper]

I'm sure there are in-between sized marigolds...

[Overtaxed]

I saw some 30" marigolds...

Maybe I should get butterfly bushes.

[RMDupree]

One can dream!

[SuziQ]

Hey, then YOU can buy the Hobbit Hole compound and pay us all six figure incomes! Werks fer me!

[SuziQ]

RIP Wilson Pickett Another one gone to Rock and Roll Heaven!

[JenB]

I like that plan!

[RMDupree]

hehehehe....money wouldn't last that long.

Split 24 ways, I'd be lucky to come out with a clean million. :-D

But that's enough for the compound at least. Or, the down payment. ;-)

I'll do my share to get it up and running. *grin*

We'll start that Keg-in-a-Box company.

[RosieCotton]

Speaking of in-a-box...I got one box from the grocery today, and it's been a source of great amusement to the cats.

What's that in the box?

Aiiiii! It's the creature from the Black Orange Grove! Run for your lives!!!

It actually came out like that...it's too good to edit. ;-)

[RMDupree]

Wow! Lookit those eyes!

Maybe you could photoshop the box to say it contains trolls. :-D

[TalonDJ]

Or "Viking Kitty Deliver Co."

[RosieCotton]

Heh...I like that.

"Caution: Weapon of Troll Destruction"

[RMDupree]

Do a variety of them. The eyes are perfect!

[Overtaxed]

Heh. Guess we can market "Cat in a Box."

[RosieCotton]

I don't have Photoshop, nor do I know how to use it. But it *would* make a pretty good viking kitty picture. ;-)

[RMDupree]

Maybe ecurbh or Corin could do it for ya. I'm not sure who else knows how to use it.

Speaking of Corin, where is he?

[TalonDJ]

I am a fair hand with photoshoping myself. Not sure I have time at the moment though. Maybe later, I will keep it in mind.

[TalonDJ]

It would be nice to have our own selection of anti-troll kitties...
