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!

It was not even adjacent to a moot. Those are usually the really long ones.

You ain't kidding.

[TalonDJ]

Long enough that I am not counting :P It would be too depressing. Better to let it sneak up on me.

[RMDupree]

In that case, you'll definitely need a drink or two to deal with any sort of plumbing issue. :-D

[JenB]

Well, we're almost done with March! Admittedly April is a sad and mootless month but once it's over we're quite a lot closer to stuff.

[TalonDJ]

Yep. Before and after, soooo sloooow...

[TalonDJ]

Yeah but think. It is the ONLY moot-less month. Maybe no forever but certainly for the foreseeable future.

[JenB]

Yeah, that helps! And it's not that long a month, we both have lots to do. It'll fly.

[RMDupree]

~sigh~

Just focus on May...

[2Jedismom]

Good morning! It's payday! Yippeee!

I'm taking the jedis to the donut shop down the street here in a bit.

[RMDupree]

Yummy donuts. So evil, but so good. :-)

[Corin Stormhands]

Could I contain them if I put them in a raised bed? Say 4x8?

I'm thinking I'd put watermelon on one end and pumpkin on the other. Just 'cause I want to try pumpkin.

[ecurbh]

G'mornin. Triple whammy day... Friday ~and~ payday ~and~ frappe Friday (boss buys coffee for everyone in the office). Woohoo!

[RMDupree]

As far as Fridays go, it is a good one then!

No money here yet. Got to wait until next week. :-P

[Overtaxed]

Yeah, that would work.

[HairOfTheDog]

Mornin - slept in :~D

~sip~

[Overtaxed]

Think I'll go look at my bank balance while it's still there...

[RMDupree]

My account has a revolving door on it. *grin*

[Corin Stormhands]

Think I'll go look at my bank balance while it's still there...

~sigh~

Did that already. It was purty.

~was~

[ecurbh]

Well, ~my~ paycheck is gone already. But luckily, it's Hair's payday too.

[Overtaxed]

It looked real purty.....I'll have to avoid the temptation of looking again at the end of the day. It's not a good idea to tackle a faucet problem in a depressed state.
