Lawn Care 整理庭院

These few days, I've been busy doing lawn care yard work:
removed dead branches,
spread weed killer on asphalt crack weeds and unwanted areas (except vegetable garden),
trimmed lawn edges and hard to mow places.


這幾天天氣好, 忙著整飾戶外庭園:
剪鋸樹木枯枝,
停車場和行車道裂縫雜草噴灑除草劑(不噴洒菜園),
修齊草坪邊緣和割草機割不到的地方。

Pine Cones 松果

Only a few days passed, I found new baby pine cones growing.

才不過幾天, 開花的松毯已經長出幼松果了。

Scenic Roads 觀光公路

Unique design scenic highways.
Are they highway to heaven or ...?
Good luck driving!


獨特養眼的高速公路。
欣賞美景千萬別霎眼,
還是專心來開車爲妙。

Haiku And Shells 排句與貝殼

‧Snail and clam Shells,
‧Found in early spring day,
‧Made them funny faces.

I try to write a Haiku poem. A Japanese Haiku needs to have three lines 5-7-5 (17) syllables or less and about one of 4 seasons, and ...
I hope my blog readers in Japan or anyone who know Haiku would give me feedback or comments.


‧蝸牛偕蛤蚌,
‧留殼供人早春賞,
‧組成臉譜圖。

自學排句詩, 留給自己來欣賞, 無師難成材。
一首日本排句詩要有三行5-7-5 (17 或以下)個音節, 含有四季之一, 且主題 ...
我真希望日本的網友或有懂得排句詩的網客能夠指點指點。

A Loving Pair 你濃我濃

Stand guard 雄鴨站崗。

Poppy-duck: "Honey. It's time to take a break."
Mammy-duck: "Yes, dear. I am coming."
What a kind, and caring scene!


小鴨爸:「哎唷, 小鴨㸰媽, 辛苦您了。 快出來休息一回兒吧。」
小鴨媽:「好, 好, 小老公。就來了。」
好貼心温馨的畫面!

Beautiful Sunrise 很美的日出

I mentioned that we had rain yesterday noon, and it rained last night again.
Starting my morning walk at 7am this morning, I enjoyed green lawn and fresh air.
What a beautiful sunsrise morning!

我提到昨天中午下了一陣雨, 昨夜再下了不少雨。
今晨7 點鐘開始每日的漫步。觀賞籃天綠地, 呼吸着清新的空氣。
好美的日出噢!

No Flower Fruit 無花生果

Haa! What is "No Flower Fruit"?
It's fig. Fig is called "no無 flower花 fruit果" in Mandarin.
Fig leaves start to bud in the spring, and tiny figs follow without flowering first. We will have a good crop this year.

大家都熟知的無花果, 春天一到來, 不經過開花的過程就長葉子隨即長出小果子來。
看樣子今年的無花果會有好收成的。

Rain Relief 及時雨

We had rain shower at noon time for about an hour.
It made everything greener and air cleaner.
Thank God for this temporary relief from pollen.


今天中午下了一個多小時雨。
草地樹木看起來青綠多, 而空氣也較清新。
感謝上帝下了這陣及時雨, 暫時除去滿佈的花粉。
