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, shucks, the article isn’t there. sigh. and all that html stuff done gone to waste.
You know, that's just going to make everyone ask you, "How come you didn't make cookies this year??"
I think my favorite is “And He Shall Purify”.
Actually, that sounds like my wife.
I always liked Serena better.
I guess that explains why my car is so messy.
I sprayed the tomatoes for aphids not long after I first set them out and haven’t noticed any infestations until I saw some on my soybeans last weekend. Lots of white fly buzzing around, though.
The walnut trees are especially aphid infested this year, but elms are in the running as well. The hard freeze we had shocked the trees and they started making extra sap hence the explosion in the aphid population.
The entomologists don’t know which species of aphid is the main culprit but they are in agreement that the drippings are ‘honeydew’ aka aphid poop.
I prefer to think it is stocking up on potential spare parts. I rarely throw anything out that is salvagable, might be useful later on, isn’t worn out or used up or can’t be adapted for another use sometime.
Aphid dew....great.
"Cuz I got too fat last year eating them ALL BY MYSELF! harumph." :)
HALLELUJAH!
(I know, It's in the Easter Section, but I always play the whole thing)
Heheh...I like that.
Hot dang...they’re takin’ the pumps away! I think. Anyhow, there are folks here messin’ with ‘em...
Silent minions, too.
Yeah - we were just noticing that....
A good sign!
They took one, much to Cisco’s consternation. Hopefully they’ll come back for the other.
I think he thinks they’re his, like the dumpster is Gidget’s...
Heh... yeah - he prolly does... Hopefully they’ll take all of ‘em.
I think I’m still stuck with the signs, though. :-\
Picky picky...
