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!

My load of books wasn't that bad...

Compared to 200 boxes? Not at all!!! OB and I used to buy books, but we don't so much anymore. Good selection at the library and we've already paid for those with our taxes!!

The nest should be fine. I found a house wren nest in my clothespin bag once when we were living in Tallahassee. It had been hanging in the carport next to the back door, and we'd been gone out of town for a week. I needed the clothespins, so I carefully removed the nest, dumped the pins, put bunched up paper to the orig. level of the pins, then put the nest back. Mama came back later, and didn't even seem to notice anything different. It was a hoot when the eggs hatched, cause we could hear them chirping when Mama would bring food.

The plumber is going to call today, don't know whether or not he'll show up. I'd go put the second sealing coat on but I don't want him to show up and have to avoid the wet paint and breathe the VOC's (though, being a plumber, he's probably breathed a lot worse). So I guess I'll go iron, since it's too wet to play outside.

I just got finished burying the back half of a little rabbit that wasn't watching. Must have been that durn black and white cat that's gone feral. Never found the front half, but I must admit I didn't look that hard.

Gypsy keeps trapping the baby bunnies under the wood pile, and she can't get to them, so it's entertaining. She did trap one between the two fences, and it was so scared it couldn't get out, so I had to take a board off the fence to free it. I thought they were pretty cute 'til I saw one sampling my tomato leaves...

I left one of my eggplants at bunny height and the top got nipped off.

Had to put a higher fence around the coneflowers. And they keep nibbling the parsley. Shoot! I've got a whole back yard full of broadleaf weeds...why don't they go after that?!
