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! |

Check out the size of these HUGH mushrooms! I placed Tweek there to show scale. That big one is almost as big as a dinner plate.

It's really warm and wet out... they're popping up everywhere. Like I said on the other thread, as wet as it is, they'll be growing between our toes if we aren't careful :~D

In other news, some local disaffected youts decided to spray paint the neighborhood. The stuning part is that all of a sudden the grafitti artists have gone enviro-mental on us. "Stop Raping Earth" "F* Developers" "Stop Sprawl" signed -"E.L.F."
I don't think real ELF-ers will use little bubbles dots for periods between the letters. Makes, me think, like, omigawd, they're like, girls. Secondly, real ELF-ers burn down real estate developments. Not that I'm giving them any hints.
I can understand the arguments and sentiment against sprawl. Completely. However, to try to make an ecological argument out of it all is just stoooopid. Especially since our development was a farm. A tree farm. A tree farm full of non-native tree species (spindly, crowded pulp pines). A tree farm that completely wiped out the native ecology. There's no native undergrowth. There's barely any wildlife. The developer did the land a *favor* fcol. 1) improved stormwater management 2) reintroduction of native deciduous species 3) large lots minimized the number of actual homes in the plat. There's nearly 30 homes on over 70 acres - most of which is still wooded with the pulp pines. Most developments will put 3-4 homes per acre. Not ours.
But no. The rocket scientists vandalized nearly every home as it was being constructed. In some cases stole materiels and equipment (yup, it's wasn't just doughboy). They stole our development's sign. We all opted to not replace it for 4-5 years so the turds can graduate high school first. :P And now they think they're ELF-ers spray painting for a cause. What a riot.

Eeek. Sorry about your vandals... did they spray fences, homes, - lived in, or those under construction?

This time around they tagged the street, the curbs, and the street signs. Guess they were too chicken to go after a house with folks livin' in it They were also to lazy to haul their lame derrieres up the street and paint our sister development. LOL.
Back during construction a couple years ago, they'd spray paint everything. Fortunately with paint and vinyl siding it got covered up. There are several names carved in the concrete of our foundation. Including - I kid you not - "Bubba" They'd also sneak in at night and have parties. The construction site would be littered with broken beer bottles the next morning. We actually deterred a group of them one evening. We were visiting our house with the dogs and they started coming down the drive in a junker car. I made a big show of lifting my camera as though to take a picture. They threw it in reverse real quick and backed out. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to actually get a picture. Probably would have helped identify the perps.

G'd'evening...
Vandals suck. Perhaps if we concentrate them they'll make a mini black hole and slip past the event horizon.

Now see. Books like that give me hope. If a silly thing like that can get published, I surely can. Heh.
