在暮春的季节
拖着老腿爬上山脊
只为了来看你
你金灿灿地
高高挺立
我目不转睛
却仿佛看见
你花谢后
满目的枯黄残迹
春即将离去
夏就要来临
待繁花落尽
山谷重归沉寂
一切的美都是转瞬即逝
四月的最后一个周末,好不容易约上三位驴友,重爬当年的根据地。今春的雨水太多,据说花籽都随雨水冲下山来,故此低地的油菜花开得特别旺盛。爬了两小时,下山时,膝盖和脚后跟都在隐隐作痛。这大概是今年的最后一爬了,腿脚不利索了,好在花也会渐渐褪去,我也没什么好留恋的了。
还拍到了七星瓢虫,第二张有两只一上一下,在爱爱。没带大相机,手机拍的我还特意放大了:))
回到家中,看着疏于打理的后院藤蔓凌乱,拿起工具准备修剪时,发现摇曳纤弱的枝条上有一只小小的蜂鸟巢。五年了,蜂鸟妈妈重返后院,让我惊喜!但愿我没有惊到它。
今春的枇杷被松鼠破坏糟蹋得太厉害,地上墙头树杈上到处是松鼠吃剩下的核、青黄的果子。我想尽办法仍不能阻挡它的脚步,最后只好听之任之。人很多时候是斗不过这些动物的。往年都会寄一些给女儿尝尝鲜,今年正巧女儿也说不用寄了,我自己吃,多一颗少一颗就无所谓了。社区的松鼠太猖獗了,都想砍了枇杷树,少一分牵挂了。
枇杷被咬成这样,这些松鼠太猖狂了。我们这目前还没有大量松鼠,否则果蔬也要遭殃。
还好你们社区没有松鼠。我们前些年也没有的,去年前面的大树砍了以后,松鼠就发现我家的枇杷了。松鼠很能繁殖的,又不像老鼠,还不能杀的。我有把果子包起来,网兜啊,还有特意从temu买来的那种扎水果的袋子,它都能撕破,有时候你去赶它走,它还“鼠”视眈眈的,拿它没办法。枇杷今年吃到嘴不多,有些没怎么成熟就被破坏或被我摘了,唉。
谢谢小小来看我,五月快乐了!
小松鼠真是小祸害,金灿灿的枇杷被糟蹋了,真可惜!有没有什么网子可以保护起来?
我们这里倒是没有松鼠,不然果树也难保啊。
问好暖冬,新周快乐!:))
My backyard is small, but whenever there are sprouted potatoes in the kitchen, I would plant them in the backyard. So I also have some of them here and there. You will be surprised how fresh they will be from your own backyard (its skin could be very thin, which you can peel it off using nails:) I think one day I will try Shepherd's pie, as I bet J will like it too.
With alternating rains and recent warm temperature, the flowers are mostly in full bloom, or actually fading. They are evanescent anyway:).
Thanks my friend. Have a great month of May!
Sorry to hear about your trouble with the squirrels. They do seem to be local. My neighbors' loquats have bumper crop every year. I myself think the fruit have too many seeds.
I planted 18 holes of Russet in my front yard garden out of six costly organic potatoes from the farmers market. (I was going to make Shepherd's pie with them but changed my mind when I saw the bill.) Three weeks later, 12 of them sprouted out of soil. I am full of great expectations :-)
回国时经过洛杉矶,海边转了一圈。喜欢油菜花,枇杷,在中国吃了不少。问好暖冬,周末快乐!
