Hi, my name is Kevin. Would you all mind if I join in the fun of the Hobbit Hole?

Hey there, ksen!! Where you been? You're just in time for first breakfast! Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Pay no mind to the dwarves. They seek only to increase their riches and care nothing for the trouble of others. :)

It was 10 degrees this morning, which is up from the 2 degrees of yesterday morning.

I called work today to see if the place was still standing and they told me it has been in the 80's this week. Aaahhh, only a few more hours until we return to sane temperatures. ;^)

Nice to see you RM. I've been perusing the thread, thanks for keeping everyone well-fed.

I gotta sign off. See you all tomorrow when I get home. ;^)

Good morning everyone! It didn't snow last night! In a way, I'm glad...it's a bit of a hassle. But the boys haven't thought to look outside yet, and I'm afraid when they think of it, they're going to be disappointed. Not too badly though...they have a busy day. I have lots of errands to run.

Ha! Guess what! It just started snowing. Not much though...I doubt it'll accumulate.

Morining All.

Hope there is a little snow for the boys, 2JM, I remember how much we always wanted it when we were kids. 'Course maybe you get more snow in Tulsa than we did in central VA anyway?

+, your boys don't get to skip school when it snows, I guess.

Here are images of some Australian Pines, on the beach at Bimini. But these things are all over Dade County, I'd use the word "endemic" if I knew what it means.

I always thought a small one would make a good Christmas tree. They make a beautiful sound when the wind blows through them, as it usually does when you are at a beach

No! LOL They have to do school anyway. Matthew was just commenting about that yesterday, how he does school in the summer, when it's too hot to play outside, but all the other kids are out school and he also does school during everyone else's snow days!

They'll get to play in it today though...and all the other kids are in school! LOL If it accumulates...which it might! The ground looks like it's sprinkled with powdered sugar right now.

I think in Syracuse, where my daughter is in college, they have had over 3 feet in the last week.

Going in the house and make 2nd breakfast, I guess...all this talk of cold weather is making me burn calories.

I guess it would be alright to get that much snow, but Tulsa isn't prepared for that much. Everything would stop! THings almost stop with 8"!

Thanks for the pics, Sam. I know exactly what you're talking about now. There's tons of them at Tropical Park, and yes, you are right, they make a lovely sound when the wind rushes through them.

I haven't seen snow in years! I love the way it looks, but I am a real weakling in the cold weather. My blood is way too thin from so many years in the tropical climate of Florida. Snow and ice are no fun to drive in either.

Now, place me in a bay window seat near a crackling fire with a mug of hot cocoa and I could stare at it all day and night! :)

Hullo! Good Morning!

Jame.... thanks for that post of yours, and Ruth, thanks for breakfast!

I have the post all formatted and ready to go for our new Hole. I think you will like the place! I decided to use the picture we used to have here... the open door to Bag End... It has a warm feel to it...

I looked through pictures and posters from TTT and didn't see any that would feel as homey for everyone, Though a bunch of yummy pictures of Legolas had some appeal to me ;~D I thought better of it. Do you guys have a better picture in mind you would like me to use?
