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!

Glad your bunny is back...we set the trap last night for something that killed one of the guineas. It ate the food but didn't trip the trap. G'nad will put it on a lighter setting tonight. Two nights ago was the first night after we set the guineas free from the new coop. Thought two weeks in it would get them to realize it was their new home...but that first night, they roosted in trees. Last night they all wanted in. Not sure if it was because of the attack or because that's where the food and water are. It was good not to have to worry about them.

In other news, my tomatoes have Septoria leaf spot...I'll have to pick up some spray tonight when I take the kids in for swimming. They are nice and big, but starting to get brown spots on the lower leaves. Grrrrr

Morning,

Mrsnad

heh...I told Matthew we got Z this morning, when he got up. He asked "Are they gonna have a sweepstakes to see who gets to kill him?" I said "No! He's already dead!"

He was a bit disappointed there would be no sweepstakes.

heh. GMTA.

The sky is blue

My heart's as warm as
A THOUSAND POUNDS OF TNT

Heh....someone's going to have a very bad day sometime soon. :-)

BTW, Becky's here at work with me today. She loved hearing the original "Shpadoinkle", but now she's back to listening to Bon Jovi.

If I frighten my boss with Shpadoinkle today, it's all your fault. ;-)

Better that he doesn't know just where the song is from, I suppose..
