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!

My butt has never been purple.

We will not be discussing other color choices.

Heh... Plums are good, just don't take a lot with you on a long road trip :~D

Does it have a bunch on it?

They're still just starting out, maybe dime to nickel sized, so they're hard to spot. But it looks like there are lots of them. It's a big tree, maybe 12ft or a little more.

I think apples are more of a butt fruit than plums.

Thank you!

I had to take a break and vacuum the pool. I must say, it looks fabulous! Crystal clear. Chlorine levels are perfect. pH could be a bit higher, but it's still within ideal parameters.

Better living through Chemistry!

"You like like a rug" fits nicely in the keywords.

Particularly because, if I'm seeing that picture right... that condo only has a front wall. Look at the left side.. it's like a movie set.

Yikes! I hope that's not a "per wall" price.
