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!

Fun for you maybe, baby has decided today is going to be another tough one I think. I had three good days in a row and was hoping today would be the same.

Well, whatever you have for lunch, have it with some kind of kool-aid. Great dyes in that, turns the whole contents of your stomach really pretty colors. :~)

Funny, but evil.

I’m kinda glad the guitar list is just a mailing list with an on-line interface...no avatars or images of any kind, and they’re very strict about keeping blatant politics out of the discussions. I’d actually probably agree with a lot of ‘em politically, but I’d rather not know, for the most part.

I used to give the kids this raspberry sherbet from Baskin Robbins when they were toddlers...it was a funky blue color going in, a florescent green coming out! I’m talking nuclear florescent!

If you’re gonna wander off for days and weeks at a time, you’re going to miss a few mini-dramas.

I check my pings at least once or twice a day!!!

I’m sure I must’ve missed my ping to this news. Where is it???

~2j is feeling the twitchy feeling of an impending shimmy starting in her toes~

Mmmkay...so I see that colorful barf is also being discussed in the Saddle Club thread.

Beautiful.

I’m back! My mom called. We’re both on AT&T, what with unlimited mobile to mobile, you know...anyway...

Congrats to you!! How thrilling! I swear, I missed it completely but the last couple of weeks have been hectic with school starting back up and all.

Again, congrats! I’m so tickled!

Well, I finally took some new pictures of the kittens, so here's an update! It's not easy, they're usually darting around the house in a blur when they are out...

Like this!



Little Peanut is particularly hard to catch, because she is usually darting from one hidey spot to the next, but here she is with Wicket...



And she's in this pile...



Above... Wicket is kindof a bully to her, so I usually split them up when Wicket tackles her, as she still has stitches to worry about on her belly.

Back to Wicket and Jack... I thought this was a particularly amusing shot!



And more Jack.  I think he's really a cute cat.



Pulling his Eeyore toy out of the cage...



And one more once I got them herded back inside the cage.  This picture shows also our new entertainment center (well, new to us) that we picked up last night to replace the old desk we used to use.  I like it. - Looks much better, even in our humble house!  Need to get shelves put in and the DVDs arranged.   Also shows Tweek, the abandoned Eeyore, and our local news appears to be finally breaking the scoop on the Colonol's secret recipe.



That's all for now!

My big cat would lay in the sun on the floor in the living room. My little calico would come by and swipe her tail. She’d go around the rooms...One her third round, the big cat would “turn over” just in time to swipe the calico. Went on for months.
