The Hobbit Hole XXXVII - ...Down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed!

Posted on 09/25/2008 6:43:34 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!

Well, not until the Christmas show kicks in. :-)

What show? There is not show. *wave* This is not the show you are looking for. Don't make me call the dwarf squad...

I have just wasted an inordinate amount of time on the big Troll thread! Please don’t let me do something that stupid again.

I’m pretty sure you’re talking to the wrong person for an intervention.

Perhaps our new mother can do an intervention, and get us back from the brink!

I learned everything I need to do an intervention years ago from being a Big Sister. I have to tone down my authoritative-ness and ordering-people-around to get them to appropriate Mommy levels.

If I didn’t have two meetings tomorrow, my back and I would be home with the heating pad.

It’s official. I will never play professional baseball. Doctor called in the steroids for my back.

In other news, we’ve now come to the conclusion that our LOTR DVDs were not misplaced. They had to have been taken in the break-in. We had assumed they got moved in a rapid cleaning action. But it made no sense that the theatrical versions were gone from the shelf.

I’ve not done a complete inventory, but we may be missing others as well. Either that or we were ripped off by an orc. Or Wormtongue.

Well, I know what I want for Father’s Day and my birthday. We still have The Two Towers extended edition. I had it over by the computer because I’d been watching it. Will just have to get FOTR and ROTK again.

Or maybe I’ll just go for a boxed set.

Plants delivered! Your bay laurel looks absolutely great. Mine is outside, but it’s not yet recovering from being in the basement all winter LSA

Speakin’ of plants...

I've got a peony that I planted several years ago near the dry stream bed. I thought it was gone, overpowered by the lilies and ornamental grasses. But it's “back” this year, about 2 ft. tall and will soon bloom.

I want to move it.

Can I do it now? Or should I wait ‘til after it blooms?

Or should I just tag it and move it in the fall?
