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!

It's just a happy plant in general! It's what made me want it in the first place.

Well, they're purty little plants. I've been feeding and deadheading them. Then I read an article the other day about deadheading and what would and wouldn't rebloom. They'll reseed, but not rebloom. So I've got about a dozen in exactly the wrong spot. I think I'll stick 'em out back and if they come back great, if not they were nice whilst they lasted.

They are pretty! I like 'em. So they only bloom a short while?

I have two kinds of flowers in the back I can't identify...if it isn't raining this afternoon, maybe I can post pictures.

Plums probably. We're not warm enough for apricots, but plums are common enough.

Ramius has a plum tree in the yard at the beach house... not that he'd know that :~D

Yeah, I planted them about a month ago and they looked really nice. So I've been waiting for them to rebloom.

Maybe I'll just throw 'em on the compost heap and one day be surprised when the grow up somewhere.

Mornin' folkses...

Could be plums I spose. But don't plums start out purple and pretty much stay that way? Dunno, but these are starting out green.

cleavage sounded like a more attractive descriptor on food than butt-crack :~D

Well... if they start out green, then this is probably a plum tree. I found a horticulture site and compared the leaves, and the leaves are definitely plummish.
