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!

You forget. I prefer the heat to the cold.

No way! I can't let you hog all the credit! My car has not been running at all for a few weeks. Surely I am doing some part of the downfall.

Yeah, if you carpool some of the time, or drive something other than a behemoth (and Jen's car is hardly that, though yours is...), you obviously hate America. ;-)

In the heat contest, I’d far rather we remain amateurs.

Though it’s kinda strange for early August. It’s actually been downright chilly some nights.

We’re carpooling in my car. How evil is that?

But, y’all don’t get severely cold winters either, do you? I could handle that.

Man of few words, yes I am. With work busy lately, also.

Confusing though, it is, backwards talking.

Looks like the bunnies have taken a liking to my squash....they like lounging around underneath.

Those big squash leaves probably provide good shade! I have a bunny that stays in the hostas out front. LSA

Well...as long as they don’t nibble.

I just washed the tree sap and attendant dirt off my car windows. Maybe it’ll rain now.

It’s raining north of St. Joe; you might could catch up with it. Radar shows quite a long front, Pratt KS to IA.

We’re still at 91 was 97 or so earlier. But, it’s August and the cicadas are in full chorus.

I’m thinking we’ll probably hit that gap.

Well, you've certainly come to the right place, then.
