The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

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!

How many stockings need stuffing?

Well, there's Tom the retired Major, Tommy and Chrissy are Captains, and Bill is a Lieutenant. Then, if you've got something appropriate, there's Susan, who is a PhD Psychologist and is the terrific mom of those fine young adults.

They look like Scandanavian tortillas! Sounds great with butter and sugar!

Have you ever had a sopapilla? I'd think the lefse with butter, cinnamon and sugar would taste like that.

When I first saw the pictures, it looked like y'all were rolling out the dough with a sleeve of Ritz crackers!

I had a code review meeting to attend. Pretty fun... even the people writing the code are new to C# so we had some interesting discussions. Oh. And software engineering humor. I'd forgotten how weird it is to be around other programmer types.

The snow isn't even marked up with little children's footprints in that last pic...was that taken right after the snow?

It's beautiful here and G'nad can really see because of all the tracks what kind and how many deer and turkey (and dogs) are running around out there. Still can't get the van out though, so he's been taking thetruck. I told the kids before they went sledding to make sure they jumped off before crashing into a tree as I wouldn't be able to get them to the ER. :-)

Heh! Now THAT'S thinking ahead! I'll bet they're having a great time!

We live on top of a hill, on a cul-de-sac, and our street always seemed to be one of the last ones plowed. As a result, the kids on the street got a few extra hours of sledding. Some folks on the street below us even brought their kids up to our street to sled. It was a good neighborhood for our kids growing up.
