Strange Scene 怪哉

Hot humid thunderstorm weather spoiled a lot of beautiful mushrooms. This is the first time I see decayed wild mushrooms growing white mildew around them.

遠遠看到地上很多白點以爲鴨子又打架掉羽毛。走近才發現因連續悶熱加上西北雨的天氣, 這些腐爛的野草菇都長白霉菌。這還第一次看見的怪事呢!

Open Door 大門

My thoughts for today: God opens doors.

今日思索: 神開門。

"Whenever a door shuts, it means that God has an open door for you down the way."

「當一扇門被關起來, 在前頭神會有一扇爲你而開的門等候著。」

Recovering 康復中

Subject: Lily`s operation successful 手術成功多謝代禱
From: Daniel Hung
To: Sirtiea
Date: Fri, Aug 20, 2010

Thank you very much for your precious prayer for Lily`s operation. The diagnosis was unspecified genital prolapse. Lily discovered it 4 years ago, but she just unwisely ignored it. On Aug. 17 Lily was hospitalized, on Aug. 18 her doctor, without cutting open her lower abdomen, using a modern medical technique, cut out her drooping uterus successfully. She came home today, Aug.20, carrying a closed urinary drainage bag, which will be taken off when she returns to the hospital clinic to see her doctor on Aug. 23. She has no pain and can eat as usual. Thank you again for your prayer support. Thank God for His healing grace.

I have gone through 49 times of radiation therapy and 10 times of chemotherapy. Because of Lily`s operation I have postponed my chemotherapy until September 7. My oncologist doctor says I`ll have to receive two more times of chemotherapy, hoping the 2 cm large tumor in my lung will disappear then, as the tumor in my liver did; if not, there will be more chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Please continue to pray for me, many thanks.
May the Covenant-keeping Gracious Lord bless you, your family and your church.
Gratefully yours in Christ, Daniel M. Hung

Sunrise Sunset 日出日落

Look at these two Sirtea Garden's sunrise(100809) and sunset(100818). They remind me of the movie " Fiddler On The Roof", the wedding scene "Sunrise Sunset". I upload the video and lyric here.

看着這兩張近日所拍攝茶翁家園日出日落, 讓我想起電影「屋頂的提琴手」中一段婚禮「日出日落」的情景。我找出這段影片和歌詞上載於此。

** Sunrise Sunset ** 日出日落 **

(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
(Golde)
I don't remember growing older
When did they?
(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?
(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?
(Men)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
(Tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
(Tevye)
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day
(Perchik)
They look so natural together
(Hodel)
Just like two newlyweds should be
(Perchik & Hodel)
Is there a canopy in store for me?
(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

Compost 堆肥

We try to compost as much as we can.
←This is our 2compost heaps.
這是茶翁家園的二處堆肥場。

↓These are other composters' compost piles.
看看別人家的堆肥堆。

*Do not compost animal waste, meats, oils, diseased plants or plants treated with weed killers.
*Healthy compost smells pleasantly earthy - turn it more often and add more dry brown matter if yours smells funky.

*別參雜着動物的骨肉,油, 有病的花木和噴灑除草劑的花草。
*要常翻動; 聞有怪味則多加些黃色的落葉等物件。
