The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Morning OT - yellow face may put in an appearance today over theshire, one can hope so.

Channel 50 is showing ‘Dead Man’s Walk’ mini-series again. Adaptation of ‘Commance Moon’ by Larry McMurty. Great series. Woodrow and Gus as young rangers.

A good wine was had by all (and beer, a scotch and bourbon...).

And you're up and about already? :~)

Yesterday we went up and decorated the beach house for Christmas... mostly. We dawdled a lot and didn't do the outside or all the usual inside decorations yet, we'll see if we get around to it. - Or Dona does :~D OK either way, and Barkley posed by the fireplace looked cute enough for a picture :~)

Good morning everyone....

Nice decorations, those are.

Not doing any here this year, y’all can guess why.

Staying home this morning because of the snow. May go out later. Not much left to do until Thursday.

(I never could get the hang of Thursdays...)

Purty!

We put icicle lights out along the front of our house yesterday. They look nice. I have a lot of Christmas shopping to do... sigh...

Good luck! Remarkably, for us, we’re nearly done with Christmas shopping. All we may need are a few little stocking stuffer things maybe... and we may go check out the new Cabella’s for that. ;~)

Wrong kind of snow.

If it was on a hill skiers would pay to play slip’n’slide on it.

Wrong kind of snow? What kind of snow is it?

Light powder. It won’t clump up. Made it easier shoveling the walk (and the 1/3 of deck I have semi-decided will be all I try to keep clear), so there’s that.

Also— being light powder— a car gets ironically less traction than if it was what we call pack snow (clumping, snowman material).
