The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Oh, good catch! It must be time for me to go to bed, 'cause I totally didn't notice that.

G'night!

Lovely.

Mornin! I’m eating my yogurt and granola, but may go back to bed for a bit. Had to get up early to take Joseph for his SAT test. He’s hoping to do a little better than he did on the one he took in Oct.

Good Morning ALL - it’s over 30 degrees already - yesss. Even saw yellowface for a bit. Back from the barber shop; my old barber retired, his son has the shop now. First thing the son wants to do is put in several flat screen tvs. Guess that’s to have sports and the outdoor channel on at the same time, which could be a good thing.

Morning!

Wish yellowface will stay out so I can open the front door....I get a nice greenhouse effect through the storm door when the sun is out.

The basil that I tried to overwinter is going all limp on me without the benefit of whitefly. *Sigh*

It’s not icky; it’s sunny. But it’s cold as a well digger’s butt!

Well, it’s kinda new fangled for here. The TV there now was put in about 5-6 years ago, so we’re still getting used to that.

Indeed!

Today’s plan is to do a bit more baking, just ‘cause I can, and a lot more organizing.

Going to make oatmeal bread. Mmmm...
