I have to kids in the tub, so I'll be in and out of the chatroom. Do you already belong to the Free Republic Hobbit Hole at yahoogroups?

I just sent you an invitation to join.

When you join, access the group and you'll see a "chat" link on the left. Click on that. It may ask if you want to download a type of software and you do, so click on accept or whatever.

Being one of those "three," where's my whistle??!!

BTW, you got pretty serious about this little hobby, didn't you?! What the hang is a Susato??!

I'm here...left the chat because when I got back from getting the boys in bed, nobody was there!

Man oh man, Hair, you should hear Rosie play that fiddle! She played a tune that I could play right along with and I did! For her in the chatroom!

Oh to be thus so sorely afflicted! I have WHOA in the worst way.

A guy on the board is sending me his Susato whistle! It's plastic so I can sanitize it. It's one of the top whistles, a guy that I know that plays in a band said that recording studios like them because they are loud and clear.

So I'll have a Susato D, two Feadóg D's, a Meg C and D and a cane B flute!

OK, I'll chat for a few more minutes, but then I really have to get to bed!

I love to mow, you know...but it don't love me. I feel like someone beat me with a stick from when I mowed yesterday!

...uh-oh, this doesn't happen often because it's not important to me. But I seem to be coming down with a serious case of "Keeping Up With the Joneses..."

This WILL remain a low-cost, low-maintenance hobby, right?...RIGHT??!

LOL! Well, relatively speaking...at least you aren't collecting pianos!

LOL! Oh, that was a perfect example! Nothing like getting things back into perspective! Thanks! ;o)

About 6 years ago, I decided I'm not going to collect things anymore. But then my dad gave me a spoon from D.C. - for my "spoon collection." Which there wasn't...now there is. The spoon case has an unusual collection of spoons and ammo, ammo cases, bullets and slugs. All tastefully arranged. Too bad it's packed out and now I need to get a larger spoon rack...Hey, nice cabinet to store whistles in!! :o)

From our chat in the chat room, this is what scotch broom looks like. It was harder than I thought it would be to find a picture that would show it. It is quite invasive, it takes over all the open ground around here... Shrubby, and can get 10-12 feet tall...

This is sortof like how my pasture was when I moved here...

Also from the chat... Remember this pic?

Here are the shots that shows better how small the pony is...

She is only a tad over waist high on me. Bay's back (my horse) is about even with my chin.

She is so lightly built that only a really small person should ride her. Looking for volunteers willing to sacrifice their children as training crash dummies, but no parent is willing so far!

Mutual back scratching is good!

'Tis a simple matter. Just get a hobbit to ride her.
