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!

Sounds lovely! It should really tie the kitchen and sunroom together nicely. LSA

I got the lawn mowed, let the naybers’ dogses out for a walkabout, and then I found some blackberry bushes. Picked a bunch. There wasn’t enough for a pie, so I’m making a small cobbler instead in a square pan.

Mmmmm...fresh blackberry cobbler. It’s in the oven now...starting to smell tasty.

Hopefully! It was a new recipe — really easy one that just involved adding sugar to the berries, mixing up a simple batter, and layering them in the pan.

And I happen to have some vanilla ice cream on hand.

If it’s good, there *might* be enough green berries still on the bushes to do this one more time before the year is out. If it doesn’t freeze first.

Our high temp for the day couldn’t have been more than sixty five or so, and it’s warmer than it has been. I think we’re pretty well done, as summer goes.

I meant “fascinating” as in “scares the lembas out of me.”

Well, thepool is closed for the season. School starts in the morning and Luke is in denial over the fact that tomorrow afternoon begins “no TV on school nights.”

I think I’ve got a kitchen color...it’s called “Sunroom.”

Why isn't the Sunroom that color? ;o)

Isn’t Ike supposed to be heading your way? Here’s hoping it will just be a big old long lasting thunderstorm. Y’all need the rain, don’t you?

Actually it’s Hanna that’s supposed to (as of now) hit South Carolina then turn north over us as a storm. Right now Ike is heading toward’s Cuba.

Then there’s Tropical Depression 10...

We got a good dose of rain from the remnants of Fay. But not enough to raise the water table back to where it needs to be.

I’m at the liberry. Using the high speed internet. Woman across from me right now is older...obviously not accustomed to using the computer. She pounds away at the keyboard like it’s an old manual typewriter. She clicks the mouse by slamming her index finger down on the button as hard as she can...like it takes a great deal of force to get the thing to click. Ocassionally she will pick the whole mouse up and slam it down onto the desk. I don’t know why she does that.

It’s all very loud.

I’m just sitting here cracking up watching her.
