Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Until the stars are all alight
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! |

I'm up and wide-awake (thank you, sinuses) ... daBear is sound asleep.
Debating on breakfast ... I may have to make a McDonald's run. Then I'll be cleaning/packing up and watching the NFL Draft!
Hair, I'm in love with Mae ... whatta doll! That's a kid's fantasy dog!
2J, y'all have been in my thoughts and prayers for a couple of weeks now, first with the paper, now with the girls. You know, when I try to explain the Hobbit Hole to others, I often show them the picture of you FReeping with Benny tucked under your arm (and then I show them you as Ma Barker, to illustrate your many facets). All I could do was smile and cry when I read about the cake --- such a fitting tribute.
Rosie, of course you need lots of stuff ... you're starting from scratch! Make sure you get some cute warm-weather clothes!
I gotta go ... time's a-wasting ... I'll check in this evening, probably.

I betcha I could find stuff at the mall. But I'm avoiding that whole experience. Ungh.
If nothing else, there should be a law against playing loud music of any kind in places where people are trying to make tough decisions. And another one saying you can't put up endless mirrors so that customers feel like they're in a horrible dizzy labyrinth filled with giggling teenage girls, with no easy means of escape.
To: Rose in RoseBear
Heh heh! Ma Barker!
You still writing that novel with us in it? Lotsa material lately. Heh heh!
The jedis and I have decided to call this cake The F Cake. Matthew got a cake one time that had an F on the side of the box it came in. He used to say that Frodo needed F cake. Now we are going to call this The F Cake and it stands for final, finis...the end. With this cake we are honoring the end of our chickens, the last day of the jedis school and the final days of Steve's school.

Got just the perfect solution for you! It's called Earth Right Super Stuff and you can get it at Westlake Ace hardware. Toby Tobin has recommended it on his garden shows for years and it really does work. In fact, I was putting it on the yard yesterday afternoon, in the rain; I was getting some furtive glances by the passersby :-)
It reduces compaction and breaks up clay, improves soil structure and increases soil drainage, water absorbtion and soil porosity. Included (at no additional cost!) are micronutrients that support disease resistance, higher yields, glorious color, increased stalk size, deeper rooting and better root structure. It contains vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals, phytonutrients, amino acids and enzymes not available in most commercial fertilizers!! And all this can be yours for the mere cost of $22.95.
You need to water it in, so you might want to keep an eye on the radar and let nature do its thing. LSA

Oh, this was a homeschool prom? Huh. Personally I can't see the point of most of those but I guess if it's for a group of kids who've been going to your wife's co-op that's a little different.
Heh, the thread where Talon and I first ran into each other was about a homeschool prom I think... I dragged him back here...

bokr tov hevre. Well, what's left of it anyway. We slept in this morning. Karateboy had stomach cramps before bed last night, again at 3 am, and again at 6 am. He is fine now, watching TheEmpireStrikesBack with bittygirl. I am thinking he might be lactose intolerant. This has happened to him in the past when he drank some expired milk. This time he had cheese pizza for dinner last night. Thank goodness it isn't his appendix.

Suggestions were. You match the "were" to the "suggestions", which is plural, not the "Richard Smith" which is singular.

I think I may be just vaguely lactose intolerant. I can't stand milk and I only like cheese in or on stuff, not as a dip, and I can't eat yougurt at all... but ice cream is fine.

I thought so...but the Word spelling/grammar checker was saying otherwise.
I am so smart! SMRT!

Try putting a comma after Richard Smith and before who and see what Word thinks. I'm not sure it's strictly necessary but I think it may be the more correct usage.
ie, "Thank you to Richard Smith, who made suggestions..."

PE thinks he is somewhat lactose intolerant too. He avoids drinking milk, but loves cheese.
Hmm, this Maker's Diet book advocates goats milk. I have had it ONCE and it was decidedly ~not~ my favorite drink.
To: Peanut Gallery
Was it carton or fresh?
I don't care for carton goat milk, but fresh is delicious!
