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!

Glad to hear you all are okay up there. Firewood storage on the roof isn’t one we’ve heard before. :-)

I hauled one down with a weighted rope. It was too close to flipping off and landing on cars. The other branch, well the other big one, is bigger around than my arm and at least 20 feet long. It hangs down in the back but if I toss a rope up and drag it down it is likely to really do a number on the gutters as it goes by. So it is going to be there a while.

I think Corin’s point was that the killer was apparently glad that he had guns in the house when he found her with someone else... :-\

At work. Can I go home now?

Actually it was more that Jen's comment read like she was glad there were guns in the house just in case...well, you know what I mean...

Well, it is definitely indicative of something that just about every present Talon has gotten me has been lethal.

This is the result of some bad math in the early stages causing it to be more of a trapezoid than a rectangle.... *grumble*

*snort* Been there, done that!

Ooo! Going to the Opera? Cool!

Clare and I are going to a concert of an Early Music choral group on Friday night. They're doing their Renaissance Christmas program; it's lovely. And on Saturday night, a friend and I are going to a Messiah Sing in Lexington!

The Met just started a new program last year wherein you can go watch operas at certain movie theaters. In HD. Like their “Live from the Met” radio program, only on an entirely different level. Very cool! Mom would have LOVED this idea... And the local theater (which I’ve never been to) is one of the participating ones. I’ve not been to the theater since moving to WA, but I think I will for this...

This is the excitement in our neighborhood today. The picture has a little blue house in the background which is at our intersection.

I finally got a pic of my Oaxacan tree. I've had a terrible time with my camera - it is too smart for it's own good and keeps doing all sorts of crazy calculations with the colors... so the real colors aren't captured *at all*. Everything is very, very saturated IRL - lots of deep blues and turquoise. So far, no one has been offended by the dumb thing. There's still time for me to try harder.
