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 pony get's so frustrated. It's her that's squealing. Bay has a lot more interest than he should, but can't make it happen, and that just ticks her off.

I think we'll come over tonight to get the beds... don't bother to make them up, I'll do that :~D

She has a temper, doesn't she?

Regarding the beds...sounds good. Kinda forgot about 'em yesterday. Give me a bit after I get home to move stuff out of the way and get them out of the guest room...or what will be the guest room.

I grew them once, but just broadcasted a bunch of seeds and they grew really thick...I didn't thin them or anything. I would cut them with scissors when they were only a few inches tall. But I never got "big" leaves and they didn't have much flavor. Then they got infested with cabbage loopers...tons of them, so I let the chickens go into the bed and they ate everything, loopers, collards and all.

This is the first time I've had what I consider a real "mess" of collard greens.

It has been very nice and sunny here. Light fluffy clouds on the horizon, nice breeze. You should move to Iowa ;-D

At lunch I plan to go sit outside or at least in my car with the windows down and read manga while eating food and listening to Rush.

Hmmm, I could see moving in a couple months.... September-ish, maybe. Got any suggestions for where I should live?

It's cold and rainy here. Not doing much of anything, just helping Mom out with errands and chores and giving brothers math tutorials.

Heh... I had to think! Actually I think that's the one we had an innocent bystander take of us during smoochmoot.
