The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

I’ve got generic brown rabbits that I cuss out every time I se them eating my landscape.

You need Sam to cook up a tasty rabbit stew. Tastes like chicken!

I’ve got rabbits...

And I've got a bumper crop of goldfinches and house finches. Their internal clock must have kicked over to "winter" mode. They're swarming the feeders and fighting each other for a perch.

Talked to Rosie about an hour ago. Don't know if we're going to be able to get together for a visit because they've got some family things planned. I told her to call me if she finds herself with a free hour or so.

She asked about Cisco, and I told her that he wore Barkley out playing the other night. She laughed about that, remembering the first time they'd played together, and Barkley went limping away from all the activity!

Remember that time Steve and I butchered and stewed those rabbits?

Wow...that was a long time ago.

That is a very pretty weapon! Of course it’s probably not a good idea to say that to it’s owner!

Uh, it's a plastic dummy weapon. That shade of blue is the NATO color code for "inert".

Aww, now... I'm not a big Microsoft fan at all, but

Bah... blind squirrels & nuts. :P

But seriously, I'll check it out at work. TheNextJob (if I get it) will require me to step up my organization skills a bit and if OneNote is included in the install it may just help out. For home use, tho, my perfect software is still out there. But the $35 buckaroos spent in the meantime isn't objectionable and my storyline is already improved because of it.

Well, tell her Cisco is just fine. And the cats are fine too. :~)

Gidget and Barkley got into it again last night. Not sure what to do about these two.

I assume you’re going to use some of that to fly your friends in for a party?

Hair will bring salmon....

I think you should give Barkley to Rosie.
