When the rose blooms
The old gardener cultivated many, many varieties of roses. Like a bee, he sent pollen from this flower to that flower, hand-pollinating it in all the different kinds of roses. In this way, he bred many new varieties. These new varieties became his beloved treasures, and aroused the envy of those who refused to work as hard as the bees. He never picked a single flower to give away. Because of this, he got a reputation of being selfish and obnoxious. A beautiful lady once came to visit him. When this lady left, also empty-handed did not take a flower, only mouth repeatedly muttered the words of the gardener to her. From then on, besides calling him selfish and obnoxious, people regarded him as a madman, and no one paid any attention to him anymore.
The Capsicum Dumplings
Before the Spring Festival, my mother sent two large packages of goodies, all of which were specialties from my hometown, including yellow beef, sesame leaves, fresh green beans, sweet potato vermicelli, etc. There were also a few packages of capers tucked inside. The mother dug them from the wilderness far away from home, and said she had washed, boiled and de-watered them, all done, so we could bring them and eat them directly, or put them in the refrigerator.
The Informal Snow Day
Standing at the door, looking up at the snow flakes falling from the canopy. The first thing I thought of was to send her a text message: I'm home, it's finally snowing.
Giving our daughter little Dawnxi a proper art initiation: Wonderful "Graffiti"
"Graffiti" includes many elements: mainly distorted English fonts, followed by 3D realism, character realism, various scenes realism, cartoon characters, etc. Combined with the bright colors, it gives a strong visual and promotional effect. The artistic interplay of various colors depicts a special color style with a sense of abstraction. Our daughter Dawnxi was a little over a year old when we gave her a water pen. She would scribble hard on the water pencil board, drawing lines and making a mess, which was the beginning of her drawing activities. Tracing lines is the earliest stage of doodling. Tracing lines is the earliest stage of doodling. Our daughter's doodling is a product of her visual experience and the coordination of her body and finger muscle movements, reflecting her physical and mental state at the time.

The special taste of an orange

The taste of nostalgia
The grapefruit in my hometown is a bit famous outside. People ask where the old home, I said Changshan, people will "Oh" a - "Changshan grapefruit. In this way, it seems that the most famous in the old home is this grapefruit. But many people first encounter this fruit, a bite down, ah, so sour. And then a bite, ah, so bitter - most likely, he does not know much about grapefruit. After winter, folks pick grapefruit, but this is not the best time to enjoy it. You have to be patient, pick it, put it away quietly, and wait slowly. As time passes, the magic of time works inside the fruit, and as the day gets colder, the fruit's ingredients slowly transform, with less acid concentration and more sweet concentration, the fruit becomes increasingly delicious. Around New Year's Day is very good. To be able to hold back a little more, to the Spring Festival, it will be even better, eaten with a honey-like sweetness.

Lilacs blossoms
The old house will finally be dismantled and "packed" with the yard in the spring, and everything is settled, except for the lilac tree that is full of buds, which I, a middle-aged man in my fifties, have to think about. Because it was my mother's most beloved "object" during her lifetime, I could not let it perish with the old house. So it took a lot of effort to get it up and move it to the courtyard of my bungalow in the small town.
