First Day of Spring Giveaway
Friday, March 20, 2009 at 07:01PM It's been a while since I had a giveaway at Hiraeth and the first day of Spring seems like a good day for another one.

For still there are so many things that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring there is a different green.
I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago,
and people who will see a world that I shall never know.
But all the while I sit and think of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet and voices at the door. ~from I Sit and Think by J.R.R. Tolkien
Nice poem, isn't it? But I had to google it so I don't really deserve the prize....
Well, I did the same as Rosemary. It is a nice poem.
Me, too. I recognized Tolkien as the author- but was unsure of where it appeared- so I googled it. I thought it sounded like Bilbo.
I love your new Header! Is that your potting shed? It is beautiful!
Hi Heidi,
Don't I wish?!! No, that photo was taken at the Parsley Pot, in Ashland, Ohio. I blogged about it last year when I first used this banner. You can see more photos here:
