The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Yeah, it seemed like they were mixing ancient Greek stuff with Asian stuff without being really precise on the location.

So how far are you into that series? Any other interesting reading/viewing lately?

I feel awful.

I opened a letter today and found I had four overdrafts. How could that be?? I went back over my statements and found that I had forgotten to deduct our car repair bill...about $400. As a matter of fact, I never even thought about it, Steve paid it. But instead of a check, with the duplicate, he used the debit card.

So these checks bounced...not big checks, just little ones and the bank covered them, but for each one they charged me $23, which threw us even further in the red.

I got it covered by taking out a cash advance on my Am. Express...which is gonna cost me. Steve gets paid on Thursday.

I feel like dying. I feel so bad that I can't hardly hold my head up. I just want to curl up and cry.

I feel like I've been treading water for so long and that I finally went under for good. I just feel awful.

Only thing I've been reading lately, since I boxed my books. I'm four anime episodes in, and up to manga #6 - am almost out of translated manga, will have to find another site or wait until new chapters are posted.

You are gonna laugh at me. Late yesterday afternoon the circuit breaker tripped on my A/C. But, the spring is sprung and the thing won't come on again. So, I am back to no A/C in the time of the summer when I actually turn on the one in the den only.

I can't bring myself to turn on the central unit yet. It cools off at night. And from now until Thursday I am at work during the day. So, I am sitting her in 96 degree weather with no A/C.

"Obi-Wan to Anakin, Ep II: "You'll be the death of me.""

LOL!--I didn't even notice that little bit of foreshadowing!

You're going to have a manga/anime craving by the time you get to Colorado :) If you find anything else interesting online let me know.

BTW how'd anime fest with uncool sister ever turn out? Is she successfully converted yet? :)

Heh... just had a good shower.

Remember last summer the hot water line under the house busted and with Grama dying and the kids leaving I just didn't have motivation to get it fixed? So, I didn't turn on my A/C and just had showers in only cold water till up in September I think.

Well, today, I remembered that the cold water isn't really cold - so I used it! :-)

LOL! So you have "hot water" and "uncold water" :)

LOL! Which stuff? I think you said she liked "Ranma" better than "Kenshin"--I'm still trying to figure out how that could happen. . . :)

"Man, this story gets touching..."

You mean "Full Metal Alchemist"? Does that mean it's a girl manga?

(((2J)))

No worries, sis. That has happened to most folks on more than one occasion, and like Hair said, money matters are always temporary.

And just remember all the times that money just happened to come up just when you needed it. God always provides what you need, sis.

I've only got $20 to my name at this very moment. Literally, that's all I have in my account. LOL! But you know what? I am not going to worry about it because worrying isn't gonna add a single penny to it.

Trust in Him and know He will clear this up soon.
