The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Limburger, to me, smells like a dirty diaper. Maybe one that's had a few days to ferment.

Stanky. Maybe it tastes good, but I can't quite bring myself to put something that smells like that in my mouth.

Those elderly folks are so pleasant to sit there and visit with...

until you hack them off, that is. :P

That's why you should always carry a chain saw. It makes hacking people off so much easier.

She's supposed to be spayed...if not, I'm taking that up with the vet. She does like to hunt and ~maybe~ that's what she's been doing, but it has been vey cold here. I noticed she is a little raspy. Called the vet and they said just to keep an eye on her and make sure she keeps eating. Said she probably just has a cold...ever have a cat that got a cold? Maybe I'll give her some decongestant. :-)

Do you want to come over tonight for some spaghetti and a movie? (And you wouldn't happen to have any italian sausage on hand, would you? It's the one thing I forgot at the store yesterday.)

I could pick some up on the way home, if it wouldn't be too late...and if you know which kind you want.

Sure - movie night sounds good! What movies do we still have to watch?

I should add some of the ones we talk about to my Netflix queue one of these days...

It would be nice if they had purse-sized chainsaws.

Well, if it's not too much trouble. I usually just get whatever kind they have in the meat department, I ain't picky. We don't need a whole lot, not more than a half-pound. Thanks.

We don't have a particular movie in mind. Got a couple on DVR - Romancing the Stone and The Great Race.

You might ask Empress about giving a cat decongestants. If she is around.

General progress report for the day and pet pictures :~) We got the drainage all cleaned out and shoveled a lot of slop out of the gate area. It's got such a nice hardpan that drains well if it doesn't get clogged up with muck. :~)

Other than that, here's a couple pictures from the last couple of days...

A pony got to roll in the dirt. This was ~before~ the farrier came... (oh great!)

And the two monsters just looked very cute cuddling on my laundry pile :~)

Here's some I took of the monsters in the vacuum cleaner box yesterday...

There is a Tweek who keeps popping out of the hole in the top to surprise an unsuspecting Gidget. :~)

This is from an email I received today:

--------

If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane or train....

1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.

2. Remove your laptop.

3. Turn it on.

4. Make sure the guy who won't leave you alone can see the screen.

5. Open this email.

6. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.

7. Then hit this link: click here
