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!

Mornin'... It's Kentucky Derby day, I've been making html for a pretty Runs for the Roses Live thread.

We're going to go for a trail ride this morning before the race.

Morning, sip, break, got the second raised bed turned; planting some cannas (gypsygirl is an excellent supervisor). We needs to get some sunflowers; ozark columbines getting ready to bloom, second grouping of iris need just a day or two of sun.

Corin; a bit of Smilax sp. planted amongst the flowers could add interest. :-)

It was *supposed* to be cool but sunny...here at least. Looks reluctant.

I'm brainstorming and sketching ways of keeping the dog outta the garden when I'm at work. I'm thinking it *could* be as simple as putting a T post at each corner and putting cord around it - wrap it every few inches to maybe three feet up. I could step over it, but it would be a visual barrier for him, I'd hope. He'd likely still pick at anything he could reach from the edges, but that maybe an OK compromise.

How do others deal with that? Or am I the only one who has a dog with that much run of the garden?

I think he's gonna get in it eventually unless you fence it off... I'm almost done with my temp fencing that's been around the new lawn. That would do it. T posts at each corner and maybe a few of these other temp posts to stabilize it.

I'd put the fencing a few feet out from the edge of the garden so you've got room to work.

Doesn't matter if he's in it now, maybe he'll help dig :~D

A moving truck? Or you've bought a truck?

A 16' moving truck rented from Budget... we're going to go fill it up now!

It's either that, or fall asleep from the big McDonald's breakfast I just ate...

Well...if I could borrow that, you're right, it'd probably work best.

So far he shows no inclination to help me dig when I'm digging...but he does like layin' down in the dirt. Or did yesterday afternoon when it was hot.

I think we're ready to roll it up here... the grass is pretty well established... so you can have it before you get seeds in the ground.
