The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 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!

Here's the recipe for the Santa Fe Three Bean Salad , made with the Wish Bone Bountifuls Santa Fe Dressing. I've also made a Black Bean and Corn Salad that's really good.

Both use canned beans or corn, but neither use green beans. I like the bean salads that have the green beans, but these are vey tasty, too.

Won't grow above Zone 8. Dang it.

You should be able to grow it what with Global Warming and all. :)

Or nibble on it - the leaves, flowers, sap, stems. Bad bad vey bad.

It’s pretty though, it blooms out like azaleas. Lots of different colors, too.

I've grown Oleander. Beautiful plants. Domesticated animals and small children sometimes eat them, wild animals are too smart.

Are wild children smarter than domesticated ones or do they eat it too?

The only ‘wild’ children I have heard of are mentioned in SPAM email which gets deleted, if it even gets into my inbox.

Redepthed my .45’s (just a smidge deeper) and shot about 50 of them with no problems.
And the first handful of the 9s with better powderload also functioned flawlessly.

Yeah - I’m gonna miss the little monsters. They’ve been much of my day’s entertainment and activity the last couple of weeks. :~)

Sedona’s picking up four, two for herself, and two for a friend she’s going to meet up with on her way home.

Heh... Think I should light some candles?

That Blair is a really cool cat. She’s really got a lot of personality, was right in the way when we were making the bed and we even picked her up in the blanket and she was having a ball. :~)
