The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 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!

Well, the extra noise and carbon B*TTprint you saw over KC today was in large part due to us. :-)

Yes, we’ve cut the cord, so to speak, and now revell in the freedom of the open road, well, sorta. The old electric did its belching smoke thing, complete with heavy duty electric burning smell.

Like most things, the first electric lawnmower lasted about 18 years, the second about 8, the last three (under warranty replacements) lasted one season each.

SO, Craftsman lawnmower, gas powered, rear bagger, etc etc. now cuts our grass. Felt kinda good, knowing I was helping out the ozone, carbon credits, etc. no more.

Well, we now have an extra long extension cord suitable for lighting up something next Christmas Season.

So... are you hot enough over there? You want to come over for a bit?

Well...I think Cisco would appreciate it, in any case. He’s been whining at me ‘cause he wants to play with Barkley, and he’s pretty hot, even after being under the house.

Maybe for a bit!

I could make a few suggestions...

We have the little Ewok Kitten, who we have named “Wicket” (the name of one of the Ewoks)

Well, ours is rather limp in this heat too.

Is she still eating enough, just not moving around much? Or is she failing?

She’s eating and drinking. But nothing like “normal.” And she only moves to do that or go to the box.

I think she’s given up.

Heh, I’m thinkin’ the Ozark Deer Christmas Card might be an appropriate model to use for decorations. :-)

I am sitting here trying to take deep calming breaths...

Joshua just came in here with a MASSIVE water balloon. So full it was almost completely clear...the balloon walls, you know? THIN! Looked like a soap bubble.

“Mom, would you tie this for me?” he says.

I said “Yes, but first...very carefully take it to the bathroom sink.” HA HA!!

I got it tied and put it in a bowl to carry through the house and he took it out and put it in the swimming pool.
