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!

Mmm. Lunch time.

Were the kitty tracks leading away from the front door or coming to the front door?

White stuff again..

They didn’t go to the front door! They just cut across from the nayber’s yard and across, along my sidewalk and into the other nayber’s yard. I think it’s that black cat that likes to curl up in my catnip patch.

A heated sunroom is a good place to watch the snow come down.

Say, that’s a great place to watch the snow fall, it’s kinda like being outside but without all the cold stuff and snow sticking to you. Good Show.

It needs a wood-burning stove but I don’t want to cut a hole in the roof. I suppose I should set up a laptop with a fireplace screensaver.

When we lived in W. Lafayette IN, the home we rented had a sunroom that was about 15 x 15. They had a Jotul wood burning stove in it, and when that sucker got going, we couldn’t stay in the room without the sliding door to the house being open, because it got so hot! We used it as supplemental heating for the great room of the house, since the house had all electric heat, and it was vey spendy.

I’ve been a bad hobbit. While fighting off the urge to make another batch of brownies, I made breadsticks instead....setting aside half the dough for sticky buns tomorrow morning.

The cat tracks are filled in.

We’ve got teeny flakes falling here. It looks like I’ve got about an inch and a half on the front stoop.

Hey, we’ll be there but we can’t stay for more than the ceremony. Wouldn’t miss that for anything though! We’ll get pictures for the Hobbit Hole folkses.
