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!

Roger that. Makes sense. Wood, though, doesn't even get so cold to the touch like stone or tile would. So in my case, even if the house cools off at night, the floor isn't that cold.

Our favorite poet, Maya Angelou was apparently speaking at Evergreen today. She says we should all be "rainbows in the clouds".

It seems like that woman's head STAYS in the clouds.

Good for you! It's important for our kids to know that we take responsibility for our mistakes. It's a good lesson for them.

I don't like for my feet to be cold, and even on wood, in the winter they DO get cold! I even wear slippers in the summer because the slate tiles in the foyer are cold!

Maybe its a brain cloud that she's got. She's got rainbows in her brain cloud.

You know, it occurs to me that rainbows don't happen in clouds. Good thing for her that she's not trying to make a living as meteorologist.

Speaking of "dogs playing poker", it looks like another myth is shattered:

ooops - hadn't meant to send yet...

~sip~

Need more coffee.... We did NOT get to see Jack last night. No spoilers!

We didn't get the wind that was predicted but we ~really~ got a lot of rain. I think we might need an ark!

Maybe God's trying to tell you something, sending you all these animals?

;-)

Good morning!

This Internet thingy is pretty neat. I think it might really catch on.

Maybe I should write a thank-you note to Al Gore.
