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!

Yeah, might make more sense to shoot up half of the ammo at the next Shoot-Moot instead of moving it all. :-)

I wasn't that desperate...plus I don't know where mine is.

But the rain has let up! Woo-hoo! Coals are almost ready, burgers are shaped and ready to go on...

The thread has evolved that way.

In accordance with intelligent design.

It was predestined.

OK, I'll stop.

That was the general purport and intent. The project is currently in a failure state. OTOH it isn't really that bad, just noticeable.

some catnip, too...that's pretty easy to grow, isn't it?

Grows like a champ. Seeds are cheap and it's easy to sprout. It takes a lot of abuse- pruning, droughts, my dogs, etc... Once it gets established it's a very aggressive perennial and reseeds like a son-of-a-gun. I think I've pulled a hundred volunteers this year. And that's no exaggeration.

Only you have to make sure it's big enough to survive cat rolls before you put it out.

Mornin'.

Just got home after picking up the girls at my sister's house. Have the nephew here as well.

Becky's sunburned and Aly's got a flu of some sort. Sheesh.

I'm tired as can be, so I figure I'll just tell the office I ain't gonna make it in.

*bleary-eyed*

Better to get it now, than not be able to get it later. ;o)

Glad you made it back safe!

It's pouring rain here. Just pouring. Cisco took one look at it and gave me a look like "You're *crazy* if you think I'm goin' out in THAT!". Not sure what I'll do with him today. *sigh*
