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!
well, you've got to admit, guys are strange....
Heh. Playing mind games with the wimmenfolk.
Funny squirrels. The bunnies might like it, but I guess they wouldn't come that close to the house because of the dogs, huh?
uh, just for record Post 6441 was posted by LSA not OB.
We're back from gypsygirl's afternoon walk. She showed remarkable acuity when it came to walking through the shallower parts of the little snowdrifts on the sidewalks. Some place are bare, others have about a foot of snow drifted up, she unerringly found the shallowest part. LSA and I trudged straight ahead so she likely walked twice as far as we did. It was pretty cool, seeing the long casts she made back and forth through the fields with our footprints straight down the middle of her track loops.
I don't really want to negotiate the icy sidewalks of 75th street so I'm being lazy as far as the walks are concerned. I'm doing housework instead. :(
Cool! I thought it looked like it was rooting last time I saw it.
Just goes to show, almost anything will start growing here. I figure "On Top of Spaghetti" probably took place somewhere in Washington...
Wha?
Speaking of you... what you been up to today? We got grass seed spread on half the yard... I give it a 50-50 chance of germinating.
How can you possibly survive childhood without knowing "On Top of Spaghetti"?
On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball
Rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And early next summer,
It grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered,
with beautiful moss,
It grew lovely meatballs
And tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
and don't ever sneeze.
Been out and about. Got some Carhartt pants and generally just wandered a bit. Now I just finished talking to folks back home and I'm momentarily goofing off.
Huh - It's pretty hazy... I don't think I ever knew past the first stanza.
I've always wondered about that last verse...if the meatball story ended up so happily, why be so careful not to let others get away?
I was just reading another thread about that. What an amazing find!! I immediately thought of 2J!
Wow, been in a lot of old barns, never saw the like.
Someone better fetch 2jedismom her 'medicine'.
Hope the new owner can keep them.
Thanks in advance!
I'm amazed at the acres of eye relief on the scope. It's mounted this far forward to take advantage of it.
The project isn't complete because I need longer screws so I can put the side rails back on. The Zeiss Z-Point may be in need of a good foster home.
Jeepers Winmag! I'm not sure I'd know how to point that thing! :~D
Actually, it's naturally "pointable", and has superb ergonomics. My nephew never fired a rifle before, and he kept all the rounds in the black on 25-yard pistol target at 50 yards.
