Snow World 雪的一生

他們説五顔六色的食物才是美味
他們説繽紛色彩的影色才是美景
他們説多姿多彩的人生才是美妙
怎麽我的世界只有白色
當我的生命到了盡頭時
怎麽却不是白色了

色即是空呀！

They say the meal is delicious if there are a variety of colors
They say the scene is beautiful if there are many colors
They say life is wonderful if it is full of colors
Why is my life just only white
When I am dying at the end
Why wasn't I white any more

Ah
Form is emptiness!

Persimmon 柿子

我喜歡柿子。
I like persimmon.  

一位朋友家附近有很多美國土種的柿子樹。
The area around a friend's has many native American persimmon trees.

她說它們像小珠寶。
She describes them as little jewels.
的確是。
They really are.

這些樹都很高，長在自行車道旁。
These trees along the bike trail are tall.

我拾落在地上的，及採一些低枝已熟的。
I got some that had dropped on the ground and picked those on lower branches.

你看這是美國土種和亞洲種柿子的不同。
You can see the difference between native American persimmons and Asian persimmons.

Funny Harvest 收成笑料

9月中種下的白蘿卜種子。。
11月葉子還不是很茂盛。。
今天被雪蓋着，才想起忘了收成。。
Steve 拔起一棵。。
叫我趕快拿相機來。。
我以為什麽大事。。
看他拿給我的白蘿卜。。
我們笑到不行。。

Plant the daikon seeds on the mid of September..
The leaves still had not grown very tall by November..
They are covered by snow today, and we just wondered how they are..
Steve went out to pick one..
He yelled at me to come and take a picture..
I thought, what is happening?
He hands me this daikon..
We both laugh out loud..
