The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

Where'd everybody go? Guess it's just about Friday evening elsewhere...

But here I just finished lunch and was reading a bit on the AI live thread. About ready to dig the *last* post hole...

1) There are so many varieties of watermelons that there's one for any garden situation - including 'compact' bush-like plants that are fine for patios & planters. I'm planning to run a traditional vine up a trellis this year. I picked a variety with smaller fruit, tho. Viva Burpee.

2) Don't know a durn thing about hydrangeas except that the color is determined by soil pH.

It's just another post...there won't be a lot of new things to see until we start pulling fence.

But it's approaching doneness! Very exciting.

Ready whenever you are. Hopefully this is another ridiculously easy hole, instead of like the last one.

Heh. Is Pip embarrassed that he had to learn how to kill a mouse from a dog?

I'm sure everybody was upset about that!

LOL....we had our tornado "drill" this morning. We had the real thing (except for actually going to the shelter) yesterday.

Okay. I'm legal now....got the license plate updated.

What would be your chances of getting next Friday off - A week from today?

I need to go to Wenatchee and train someone. Wondered if you wanted to go with me, we could make an overnight trip out of it and see Leavenworth on the way home.
