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!

I got the front, more or less. Didn't really move the garden fencing, so it's shaggy in places.

I haven't done the back yet. If it's not toooo wet tonight, I should. Last night I was getting bogged down by *grass* for the first time.

Uh, yeah. I did.

Just not ~that~ kind of volume.

I was asking more along the lines of ~sound~. Or in this case, text.

Yeah...means I actually have grass, mostly! It's getting so it's kind of green all over in the front...

I'm wondering if it would hinder or help if I got another bag of grass seed and just threw it down in the midst of the other grass without doing anything fancy with it.

You could help it by overseeding again. Particularly if we're going to get more rain.

Maybe I'll stop by the feed store on the way home and pick up another bag. Not like it's tooooo horribly spendy...

I should throw some down in the back, too, where the tarps were.

Yeah - that would help. One thing about the NW... if there's bare dirt, something will come back there, if you seed it, it'll be more likely grass than weeds :~D

Are you talking about post 5025?

There's nothing there but a microscopic dash. :-/
