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!
Heh, they prolly didn't know what hit em!
Okay. Miss Cat is weird!
I broke down yesterday and got some store-bought eggnog. So I have eggnog with bourbon and eggnog. When I'm finished, Miss Cat comes over and rubs against the glass like it's catnip. She doesn't lap at it, just rubs it.
She doesn't like my homemade stuff.
Huh...must have some chemical or something in it that homemade doesn't? Weird.
My cats haven't reacted like that to eggnog so far. Bleach, on the other hand...
Ungh...wind is picking up again.
Relatively quiet tonight, mostly calm, only occasional showers. +update - just heard thunder! We left the horses out. It's very changeable, and I think they're fine and safer if they aren't in the barn and under the trees. Tomorrow is a stronger storm, and I want to relax.
A rainbow from earlier :~)
According to forecasts, conditions are right we might get Aurora Borealis - Northern Lights, tonight, if we can get enough clear skies.
I can't believe you let me miss St. Lucia Day on my blog...
How would you celebrate it?
Did I mention that somehow, the guy who makes butt-art teaching at your kid's school is just so fitting?
Did you remember the Feast of St. Nicholas on the 6th?

Actually that was LSA doing the looking, not OB. LSA
That one I got. Any others of which I should be aware?
I ended up with that soymilk eggnog. It's not as thick and creamy as regular, but it will do. Half the fat, half the carbs, and thecat likes it.
Hmmm....cornstarch...
Soymilk eggnog--Okie-dokie!! If'n you and thecat like it, then that's all that matters. OB drinks eggnog, he'll go through a couple of cartons this holiday season, 'cause he's got it all to himself. LSA

Dillon's didn't have any eggnog flavoring, but they had eggnog for sale.
I'll probably have a more "real" eggnog over Christmas and I won't be drinking the whole carton.
Oooo. Thanks muchly.
I'm going to make some more for the kids for Christmas using the regular, not sugar free, dark chocolate.
I see that OT got the info for you.
Mine?
Mine?
Maybe?
