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!

Aw...isn’t she pretty!

Should we let Luke pick out a name for her?

Well, you could quit now and still claim some success for the day then.

We have to go into town and get hay and cat food.

Back in a bit!

Heh, we know what you mean about attending the weddings of your friend’s children; however, wait till you start going to weddings of your friend’s grandchildren. We’ve done that one already, the grandson of our old neighbors got married after he finished boot camp and was heading off for advanced medic training. Whoa, where did the years go....

I’m not doin’ much more. I have some homework for class tomorrow night. If I get Luke to thepool and do that it will have been a successful day.

That is quite the shotgun, apparently I’ve only seen and handled, though never fired, the 10A. Didn’t even know they made a 10B model. I think each gunshop had one in the old days, don’t know if I ever heard of one being sold. They were always just there in the display case or on the wall.

And maybe black-eyed peas on the side?

Since proper potluck means bringing a meal and all.... ;-)

Heh...I ended up bringing chips and salsa. Fortunately, though there were other chips, there weren’t other corn chips or salsa. So it worked. Good idea.

It’s down at the Keys right now. Hopefully it will not come this far north, but we’re still on edge here.

Actually the eye is still below Cuba. The Keys should be getting the outer bands. But it’s tracking to come right up through the middle of Florida. I thought you were further south (you’ve never really told us much about where you are or what you do there).

Bit if you’re in Florida, you’re going to see the storm in some capacity.

We seriesly hope not, it’s probably easier than you think, we only have 10 years on you.

Well, I seriesly hope not as well. But as I told a friend earlier this week, I need to start taking care of this arthritis and lose some weight, or it’s going to kill me.

Thus one of the reasons for getting to thepool with Luke today.
