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! |

That was him. This is Jen, just to really confuse you ;-)

Three boiled egg sandwiches, a root beer float, a brownie and coffee??
*urp*
Or maybe there's something you're not telling us? ;-)

Well, the brownie is gone, the coffee almost...I should get that compost container built.
I'll be back in a bit.

Haven't taken any pics of this weeks' progress in the garden, but here are two fairly recent pics:
On the left is a wide angle of my four beds. The on the right is the newest (and least square - *sigh*). I'm planning on adding another behind them that is long and narrow for trellis crops. It was going to be two trellis beds, but I'll be lucky to get one done. The white bundles are bales of peat that I'll use to stretch out the soil I'll buy.
On the right are my chives that I started the first year. It started out with one sprout and has now been divided into two clumps. This is the first year it has bloomed like that. Love it! The metal grating is a pea fence laid on its side to discourage the canine varmints who think they're vegetarians.

Mmmm, I bet she liked it/them!

Isn't tonight the finale of "Prison Break?" Yes, yes, it is. OB and I started watching it about half-way through the season and it is excellent!! It's a continuing story, like "24" only it takes place over weeks, rather than days. Although the major stars are unknowns (to us, at least) the prison warden is played masterfully by Stacy Keatch, an actor we've always enjoyed . LSA
To: Lil'freeper
Oh the chives are lovely! When they seed, would you send me some? Those purple flowers get kinda brown and papery and full of tiny black seeds that you can just shake into an envelope or bowl...
I don't know if I have anything to exchange them...even my squash is likely all cross-pollinated.

I was a ~total~ failure on Mother's Day.
I managed to:
- order flowers for the Mrs. and for my Mom
- get and mail cards for my Mom from both boys and me n' the Mrs.
- get and mail cards for both boy's godmothers
- get and mail a card for my aunt (my Mom's oldest sister)
- get corsages for Mrs. and Nana to wear to church (appropriately one red, one white)
- get (and have them sign) cards from the cat and the dog for the Mrs.
- remind Jr. to get his Mother a card (which he did nicely along with a single rose for Mom and for Nana that he brought to brunch)
- make brunch reservations
I managed to forget:
~Cards~ for the Mrs. from me and from Luke. When I bought all the others, the store didn't have ANY for "Happy Mother's Day to my Wife" cards, so I said "I'll go back." I never did.
Luke spent the afternoon saying "how come there was no funny card from me?"
Mrs. was okay with it, but still. I just cain't win.
