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! |

I just hope this little thing can safely birth these kittens and they're all healthy. She needed to find someplace to do this that was better than where ever she's been.... might as well be here, I guess.
It will be kinda fun, if it goes well :~D
To: JenB
I have no idea. :~D Hopefully we'll get an idea tomorrow at the vet.
To: HairOfTheDog
Yeah, catching a flight to Raleigh tomorrow morning. I'm going through cat withdrawal.
Wish it was bunny widrawal.
To: Overtaxed
Just fed my two fuzzballs. The one is as petite and as ladylike as can be. The other is a tubby tabby who weighs more than the sack of catfood.

One of the seven afore'mentioned had a litter. But because she was raised by me and not a proper momma cat, she didn't get the lesson on "what to do when the time arrives". *That* was an interesting experience 'cuz I didn't know what to do either!

Wish it was bunny widrawal. I can loan you a chipmunk to keep you company.
Somethin' et one of muh corn plants. I figger it was the chipmunk. And, I'm missing a basil plant. Would a critter have eaten that (and left the tomato plants?)

This afternoon I found two of my okra chomped and the tops just laying on the ground, one marigold chomped, and two fern fronds chomped and left on the ground.
To: Overtaxed
Yep, I also found some vinca dug up.

Don't worry, the bunnies will make themselves at home.
To: Corin Stormhands
The chipmunk wanted basil on his corn. Seems reasonable to me.
I've been trying to call in votes for Taylor Hicks on American Idol, but I can't get thru.
Guess that means I shouldn't worry. He's getting plenty of votes. :-)

Despite the Hobbit Hole knife program, I manage a few items for my own enjoyment. One of my secret (until now) vices is collecting military binoculars.
After searching for over three years, I finally was able to snag a GI Steiner 7x50 set with the "shoot me now" anti-laser coating. BUT, I had already bought the ARD (antireflective device) "kilflash" filters, since that is another item that's hard to find.
This is a big, honkin' set of glass, made even bigger with the filters on.
Here's a view with, and without, the kilflash. The reflective coating is greenish, except from the side, where it looks pink. It's highly mirrored, as you can see. The view through the glass is decidedly pink.
The ARD is a plastic honeycomb structure, about 1/16th inch deep. It shades the lens, and blocks view of the glass from any angle except almost exactly along the optical axis. While it cuts down the luminosity of the image by about 10%, it sharpens the picture, and prevents you from becoming sniper bait.
This is a key addition to my modest collection, and brings it technologically into the 1980s. And it's just neat.

I was *almost* thinkin' of asking you for the number so's I could vote even though I won't see tonight's show until tomorrow... But I've never voted, and I guess it's silly to now...just would like him to win. ;-)
To: osagebowman; Overtaxed
Heh...I hadn't even noticed the basil plant gone (I planted three) until I took Luke down yesterday to show him the pumkins coming up.
And I noticed the 'maters need more dirt...

I think my cherry 'maters need more dirt.
The "window box" Romas look healthy as anything. So there's that.
