The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Oh - rats... I saw your pings, and was about to finally reply that I'd rather slam my fingers repeatedly in a car door than join in that futile argument, but it's locked now. :~D

Wish I'd known about those years ago...woulda had a grill a lot more of the time.

So long as I keep a few sheets of newspaper around, I'm golden - I can grill whenever I feel like it. Granted, it's still a very small grill without a lot of adjustability or that, but it'll do for now, fer sure.

Heh...the cashier lady hadn't ever seen one of those and was really curious about it. I ended up giving a full tutorial, albeit admitting that I'd never seen one in person before today. ;-)

Well, it's off to bed. For tomorrow night, I'm thinking to maybe start a bunch of vegetable plants in egg cartons - I've been saving them, and if it'd help the plants get a week's head start before I get around to rototilling...could be worth it. Not sure which it'd be most critical for. I'm thinking lettuce might be happiest planted straight in the ground.

I've also got lots of flower seeds I can sow directly - some for near the fence, and some for the front of the house. And then...there are sunflowers. I can't wait to have those, but I haven't yet figgered where they'd look best.

Got any extra needles, Corin?

Might as well put the egg cartons to use! If they're the paper kind, they aren't much different from the little cups they sell for seed starting; the ones you can put right into the ground when the plant is nicely rooted. I'd think you could just cut the bottom out of the egg carton section if you want to be sure the roots can get into the soil and not have to wait for the carton to break down sufficiently.

Glad your dinner worked well on the grill :~D

I don't know if you noticed the internet outage over night, not sure what was up with that, but we rebooted everything this morning.

Tonight's Jack :~D
