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!

The plum tomatoes that I set out Saturday have buds! I need to get more stakes some kind of squirrel deterrent.

I have to figure out what I'm gonna do for the garden this year. I *could* just get a coupla big pots do to tomatoes in, plant the corn along one side, and put squash and stuff in tires. Maybe.

I'd rather do the cinderblock raised garden, but we'll see how that works out.

I've got about a third of thenewraisedbed decently filled in....there's room for more dirt. I think I've got more plants than I have bed space for. I'm going to have to dig up some yard.

Hi honey!

I told you to call Hyusuk Kim. The house is gone. :-(

I'm kidding of course. There will be others.

Is it really gone?

Well... there were a couple of cars there when I drove by. I suppose that's when it was going down. Dang.

No worries, hon. It wasn't meant for us. ;-)

The right house will be there for us when we need it to be.

Well, that's not so bad.

It'll be a month and a half before I see Ramius again after next week's trip. But that'll be for keeps. *smiles*

Sigh, I've still got four months before for-keeps. But at least we don't have any more eight-week gaps in between visits from now on.
