暖冬cool夏
这里一年四季温暖如春，没有酷暑没有严寒......
六月的山荒草绵绵。6/14是个周日，走了二十分钟的山，回家的路上又去大公园里的一个garden走了走，摄得几张照片，存于此。
The vulture was scudding in the air, skimming over the brown grass in search of food. The grass has turned yellow, but life may still teem in the bush.
An inactive young rabbit by the roadside did not hop away as most rabbits do when we approached it. Days later when we looked at the rabbit in the picture, we were disconcerted to see a gray spot in the neck. This rabbit may have been attacked by a tick.
The only trail leading up is narrow and steep, hard for us to keep a distance with hikers who didn't wear masks. I had to put mine on when they were coming down from the opposite direction, passing by a stone throw from us. Ascending the hill, breathing through a mask, I heard every rhythmic breathing of my own, in and out laboriously. After only 20 minutes’ hike, we decided to turn back. Never would I think that the freedom of hiking in the hill would one day be stripped away. It is not the snake that made me feel ill at ease this time.
On the way back, we saw a large-sized billboard under the freeway bridge flashing that the farmer’s market was open again. We drove in. After we parked our car, it was still 20-30 minutes away before the farmer’s market opened at 10 am. But the food kiosks canopied under tents were mostly set up, scattering circularly around the big parking lot. We roamed in the area, and then walked towards a garden on the other end. The garden, guarded by wired fences on four sides, is a mini plantation, where fruit trees and vegetables are grown inside. It was also close till 10. We decided to wait outside, taking pictures of flowers that climbed out of the fences. We saw through fences the dwarfed peach and apple trees, their solid branches spreading and trimmed along the fences, each hung heavily with fruits. Red and luscious are the ripe peaches, small and green are the apples. Five minutes before 10, the gate was open to let us in. Greeted by an arched entrance over which laden with green passion fruit and flowers, we entered the arbor, loitering away half an hour inside before we exited. It is a wonderful experimental garden that has almost everything, from a chicken coop to an exotic fruit that we don’t even know the name of.
We were stopped by the administers, as we were sauntering towards the kiosk in the parking lot, telling us that the farmer’s market under Cov19 is only available to the drive-through cars. Looking at the long queue of the cars, crawling along the kiosks at a snail pace, people conversing with sellers without even rolling down the windows, we decided to go straight home. But a stroll in the park, in the lively garden, satiated us profusely.
我发现你现在越来越可以从自然的点滴里体会到美和快乐了：））
On June 18, the governor issued a statement asking CA residents to wear masks, and that may be the reason you saw people wear masks now. It looks like that northern CA is better than the southern in terms of containing the pandemic. Btw, like your "feast or famine", another example of good English usage. Have a great new week!
I just been to our farmer's market, first time since covid. It was free as before except people were wearing masks and in longer lines.
“The grass has turned yellow, but life may still teem in the bush.” ——好句子。
兔子脖子上的银灰色我看了半天，像是气枪子弹。不知道气枪子弹叫tick，赶紧去查了一下。
《同心结》：
时光牵引着你我，手相连，心相系，直到叶枯藤黄，不分离:)——————
好诗！很贴切，很有意境！非常喜欢！ 周末快乐！
嗯，是得出去走走，换换环境换换心情，暖冬周末愉快！：））
两片叶子重叠在一起，刚巧组成了一个心形。
光影魔幻，玄妙地将两颗心合而为一的意境，表达得淋漓尽致。
