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!
ya mean we got sumpin like that heading our way?!
SuziQ - my friend is still around...I think...I mean, she hasnt sent me an email saying "what do you mean they want me to make an offering to dwarves?!"
Actually Clare hasn't even seen it. We didn't get it until this morning after I'd taken her to the airport. I think maybe it wouldn't be the best thing for them to watch at school. Heh. We'll have to get it again when she comes home next.
Cool! If she can handle a few dwarves, she'll be fine! ;o)
our birch is hatin' it...
it's gotten werse since these photos... the mulberry tree in the front yard has lost two large limbs...
I was just standing out on the porch... the silence was broken about every 30 seconds by the sound of trees snapping out in the timber...
already cleared three trees off'n the lane... no doubt there will be more tomorrow...
What will sound even stranger, when it warms up, is the ice coming loose from the branches and hitting the frozen ground in little tube shapes.
it's purty amazing... and the werse is yet to come...
Stay away from pine trees...
Heh, where better for you to watch crappy movies than at college? You should let her corrupt a few of her nice schoolmates. ;-)
She's already doing that with Anime, Firefly, and Dungeons and Dragons. ;o)
LOL! That would be an interesting concept!
I love that series of VW commercials from last year about "un-pimping the auto", with the wonderful Peter Stormare as the German auto technician.
Good Morning, sip, winterweatherwatch check in. Tarps on windshield still in place; Gypsygirl did a bit of slipping and sliding; the whiteness is 99 ice pellets and sleet accumulation, 1 percent snow. Sip...
I've got the last of the New Year's spiced cider for this afternoon.
~need to start brew~
hmmm. brew. think the weather dictates some bacon and eggs, thick bacon..
I don't have any bacon, but I still have some Bass Farm sausage that I brought back from NC.
Mmmmmm......pork products....
Good morning!
Those are ~some~ pictures of the ice! I've heard that cracking before... shudder. Hope everyone is OK this morning and has power.
Ack - that's a tacky gun. ;~)
Hope you get through your ice storm OK too!
Well, we got 4.83 inches of rain total yesterday. When I say "we," I mean the Austin Fire Department station about 0.4miles away. Some places in South Austin got almost 7 inches ... I figure we were luckier.
It didn't freeze here overnight, though it did some 15-20 miles north of here. It got down to 34º last night, and is 34º now; it's forecast to reach 40º today. However, it's supposed to freeze tonight, and thunderstorms are forecast during the freezing period. good thing!
24 starts tonight! I think that deserves meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole ... I might even manage a dessert or two.
The winter weather warning lasts until noon Monday, but now the weather-weenies have added Tuesday to their prognostications ... ice on Monday, snow on Tuesday.
If it happens, I'll get you pictures!
