Growing on Tree 長在樹上

Many strange scenes appeared on Sirtea Garden this year. Growing on tree about 20 feet high not a wood fungas (ear), it's a wild white mushroom. See the bottom texture.


今年在茶翁家園看到不少奇景新物。這個長在約20 尺高的樹上不是木耳, 而是白野菇。看它底下的纖維結構可分辨出。

Tai Squash 臺灣菜瓜

Taiwan Squash is juicy, sweet and full of fiber. We will have a lot to harvest this year. Can't wait to enjoy them.


多汁、甜、又富有纖維的臺灣菜瓜(又叫絲瓜)今年會有很好的收成。棚架上開着無數的公、母花, 九至十月正是菜瓜期。再過幾天就有臺灣菜瓜可吃了。

Even a unique wedding ceremony proformed on water on floating bamboo.

在中國有人過江不用木笩竹排而是靠一根竹竿。真人真事。
更有趣的事, 就有人在江中浮竹上舉行別緻的婚禮。

Duck Business 閒聊鴨事

5 male ducks were having a meeting, I thought. First, they gathered in circle, and then 1 moved into center.
Not to disturb them, I went around to gather their feathers and played with them.
When I came back, I found the one in center stood on dock rail talking to them. I wished to know what they were talking about. Hey! MYOB!

五隻公鴨圍成一個圓圈, 好像在開會。不久, 一隻走到中間。
不想打擾它們, 我就去撿地上的羽毛來排編玩玩。
回來後,看到中間那隻跳到欄杆上𠿤嚕叫。真想知道它們在討論什麼要緊的事。
嗨, 別多管鴨事, 上網去啦!

Journey Home 回家

I might die next second! (From Francis Chan's "Crazy Love-Overwhelmed by a relentless God"). So might be everybody! Am I afraid or worry? No. Beyond the sunset, there is a sweet home waiting for me. The Bible assured me in Revelation 21:4: "He (The Lord Jesus) will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain. All of that has gone forever." I like "Beyond The Sunset" song and the home it described. I post it here.

下一瞬間我可能會死去! (自詹福適的書「被神瘋狂的愛擊潰」) 嚇一跳! 是人人都可能發生的。我害怕憂慮了嗎? 不。日落的那邊, 有一個可愛的家等着我。聖經啟示錄21章笫4節有記載: 「祂(救主耶穌) 要擦乾他們每一滴眼淚; 不再有死亡, 也沒有悲傷, 哭泣, 或痛苦。以往的事都已經過去了。」我喜歡這首「日落的那邊」歌和歌詞所描述我將歸去的家。將它上載於此。

Beyond the Sunset
Words by Virgil P. Brock (1887-1978)

Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning,
When with our Savior heav'n is begun;
Earth's toiling ended, O glorious dawning,
Beyond the sunset when day is done.
Beyond the sunset, no clouds will gather,
No storms will threaten, no fears annoy;
O day of gladness, O day unending,
Beyond the sunset eternal joy!
Beyond the sunset, a hand will guide me
To God the Father whom I adore;
His glorious presence, His words of welcome,
Will be my portion on that fair shore.
Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion,
With our dear loved ones who've gone before;
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting,
Beyond the sunset forever more!

日落的那邊

日落的那邊,賜福的早晨,在天堂樂境,與主相親;
勞碌盡完畢,榮耀的黎明,日落的那邊,永遠歡欣。 
日落的那邊,雲霧盡消去,無風暴威脅,無憂無慮;
榮耀快樂日,永遠快樂日,日落的那邊,歡樂不息。 
日落的那邊,主親手引領,到父寶座前,見父榮面;
同在榮耀中,主伸手相迎,美麗的那邊,直到萬年。 
日落的那邊,故人樂團圓,親愛者久別,歡喜相見;
在天家美地,不再有別離,日落的那邊,歡樂永遠!
