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!

Ungh...I need to do such things in almost every room. And get rid of a lot.

Well, Ramius has decided to bug out and head home... so we’ll clean stalls and what-not. Not sure what we’ll do for dinner though... :~)

I have that taco stuff and chips if you want. Could bring it over at five thirty or six.

That with a vegetable would be a decent dinner. But I think I mostly have little trees...

We’ll see! ecurbh has a bit of a headache, we’ll see if he can shake it or if he just feels worse after the stall cleaning.

“Ten thousand rain gardens”..

Might not be a bad idea. You can probably get info online for your area.

That’s quite a SHTF Aug you have there. Any thoughts of moving the ‘docter’ sight from the ‘social’ version to this one?

Nice job on the single point sling.

Heh. I’ve been perusing my Dad’s gardening books....they don’t say anything about squirrel and rabbit control. One reference to gophers, though.

Well done, stay with it, slow and steady etc. You’ll make it, just take a break periodically, merlot or shiraz?

Maybe the books assume that the gardener has a rabbit and squirrel dog (or cat).

OK - we’ve got our chores done and we’re clean... do you want to come over and do those tacos tonight? Or... maybe better, how about tomorrow night? We can have tacos and see how late we can stay up.

Sure, that’d work! I have to work a bit late, though...probably won’t be home until at least six thirty. Sound OK?

The meat’s all made (crockpot), so it’d just need reheating. We could eat pretty much as soon as I got home.
