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!

Guess I’ll just have to keep digging in a lot of leaves before putting the bulbs in every year.

But what about chipmunks? Do you think if I planted enough garlic it would keep the chipmunks away?

They don’t go near the garlic here, so I guess so.

That would work although I think you could probably kill more by luring them out into the sunlight.

Ha! Our daughter, who never liked Barbies much, got a kick out of that one.

Today, by sheer chance, not only did I see one of my dream cars, I even had my picture taken with it :)

The Weinermobile was run by two nice college girls, who gave away $1 coupons along with your picture, which was picked up at the Oscar Mayer web site.

I sorta lied to them, and told them the Weinermobile was my favorite dream car. I didn't want to shock them by admitting my number one dream ride is the Dillon Aero GMC with the minigun in back.

We have a woodchuck, that has adopted our back yard. He’s loving all the long grass and weeds, especially those growing on the pile of topsoil we dumped in the back corner. He just ambles in to the yard every now and then, and chows down. We don’t mind; he’s cute.

Way cool! Just imagine a mini-gun on the Weinermobile. Now THAT would be fun!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck,
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Heh, we say it almost every time we see him. He’s kinda funky looking, though. He’s mostly brown, with a dark tail, but looks like he has an orange belt around what would be his hips.

That must be his lumbar support for when he's chucking all that wood.

Never mess with a woodchuck with an orange belt, cause he might go for the black one next.

Now that would be very interesting, for the soccer players, that is. For the archers, well, it would soon have some good first hand data on two, three, and four blade penetration. Up to now, we have had to rely on simulations and gelatin moulding. New data....

In case you didn't know, posts 3857 & 3858 were made by OB. I'm switching him over to his account now :)

Is a woodchuck related to a groundhog?
