The scenes in the wood was not same as I predicated. There were barely red leaves, If I haven’t taken a look at the ground, I would feel time going back, the greenness makes me think it early summer.

The bushes were getting shorter and thinner, a blue jay was exposed to my sight. After a short landing on a bush, she/he skimmed across the bushes, to the deep of the wood; sweet goldenrod were in full bloom, they were the most eye-catching wild flowers in this season and spread everywhere. Since they are tall, you can easily see their pyramid-shaped golden yellow corollas in reed pone, meadows or pasture. .

At one side of the pastures, there was a mowed road. I noticed its existence weeks ago, but never pumped into it. Today driven by curiosity, a temptation of walking on a new road, finding something new along the way, I stepped on it. I stopped occasionally, appreciating the beautify of the pasture in the late summer.

Since I like walking in the wood, a main road beside the pasture leading to the wood is the only way which must be passed. From my previous experiences, since late spring whenever I walked by, my eyes would caught by those gorgeous wild flowers. I couldn’t resist their attractiveness by taking hundreds of shots for them since then. I am not a greedy person in life, but somehow, I know I am greedy when I see these wild flowers.

The beautify of this pasture was not a question for me since end of March, 2020, the time I started slowing down my pace a bit , giving some random glances of the surroundings. But now, standing on this cut-through road, with a closer look at the middle section of the pasture, I felt I was getting to know it better.

The road didn’t stop at the end corner of this pasture, instead, it extended to another pasture which is separated from this pasture by a row of giant trees. If I analogized the two pastures as two beads, this road should be a string, it stringed the two beads together.

The temperature was about 80F, with mild sunshine and gentle breeze, it’s a nice feeling late summer day.  Standing on the road, appreciating thousands of clusters of millet-looking golden yellow flowers swinging gently in the breeze, I recalled a word” immerse”. I was genuinely immersing in the nature of yellow, forgetting who I am at some moments.

When I got myself back. I realized this road is not only an inter-road, or a short cut between the two pastures, beyond that, it offers a better place for people to appreciate the pastures. If analogizing the pasture as a performance stage, any spots on the road can be seen as seats for audiences. Standing at different spots, different landscape will hit people's eyes, the notions of the plants with breeze, the light sunshine, the butterflyers’ flying about or resting , every moment is an unique fleeting moment. The pasture was really a place for impressionist.

Vincent Van Gogh jumped into my mind. Yellow is a favorite color of this great impressionist. Yellow color lives in most of his paintings ---sunflowers, wheat ears, landscapes at harvest time, and in the light of the sun. if he was here, doubtlessly he would be touched by the massive golden yellow from these millet-looking wild flowers in late summer. he would use thousands of brush strokes to have this impressive scene painted on his canvas.

  儿子爱玩游戏，我就现在国内限制18岁以下人群玩游戏时间的新规，问他怎么看，如果不让他玩他会怎么办？

“如果大家都不玩，这项规定是对大家的，那他也遵守，没意见。如果限制只对他，他就不行。不过不让小孩玩游戏，他们照样可以上网看视频，那还是上网。”

”我想是因为打网游会花钱的原因“

”那看视频一样花钱，有的人看了女人视频就给钱，还给好多钱“

不聊不知道，原来他知道的还挺多，连网络直播打赏都知道。

“现在还流行虚拟直播，就是不是真人坐在电脑前，虚拟个动漫人物做直播，人照样给钱。”

”这可能也算是一种追星现象吧。现在国内还限制追星，把极度追星的叫脑残粉“ 

儿子听了这个名词觉得太好玩了，于是嘿嘿傻笑

”还有你想不到的，脑残粉里多女性，都是追脸蛋长得漂亮的男艺人，你说傻不傻？“

”嗯，好多韩国的。“

他七八岁时，我写了二三十万关于他的日记，那些日记在当时我写完就会读给他听，那算是我们两人的一种娱乐。现在我再读时，当作回头看他的成长经历，其中包括心理发育，智力发育，社交认知。这些年偶尔才会写一两篇关于他的日记，尽管时空上有跳跃，但看看，除了随着年龄的增长，他变成熟了，本质的方面他一直都没怎么变。还是会笑到揭死底里的地步，还是爱玩典型男孩爱玩的东西，生来好奇的他，现在继续着他的好奇，坏了的电子设备会被他拆起来，把内部看个究竟。我和他说起小时候他曾经弄坏了三台传真机的事，他听着还是笑，只是说他不记得了。现在他的电脑台，简直就是现代化的办公台，两年前他自己组装了电脑，后面一两年来，间或购进些七七八八的电子零碎，让那个区域更加的现代化。

昨天晚上带他去吃饭，七点半了，还要等位。等的间隙， 我们在商业街上走走。我说那边有一家服装店，我们进去看看，给你买两件衣服。他说：“我都有衣服了，还买衣服干什么？”他有两双鞋，我说再买一双时，他也是说同样的话。“那你以后有钱了会买什么？”

“买房子，车子，电子产品”

“哪种电子产品？家庭影院你会想买吗？”

“会吧。我想让台灯，空调都是声控的。。。”

“你是想要智能家居啊”

“是”

“那如果让你选择在美国旅游，你最想去的地方是哪里？”

”加州和纽约“

”为什么呢？“

”因为高科技。“ 

饭我们是坐在外面吃的，这样会感觉轻松许多。每次吃饭时的交流都会很有趣，这也是我每过一阵子都会想带他出去吃饭的原因，既是接触社会的方式，也是通往更深交流的渠道。

他从小就好动，我理解他，好动的问题不是他不想控制自己，真是身不由他。我常对他说：”儿子，知道吗？你是个天才“， 这话是我从当时私下流传的一篇文章中学来的，文章的题目《我的儿子是个天才》，讲的是北京的一对高知夫妻，因为对多动症的儿子持不同的态度，夫妻最后离婚，儿子随母亲。儿子没有走高知家庭走的路，而是进了技工学校，后来成为一名成功的高档汽车的维修师的故事。

前两天，在朋友圈里看到国内的一个小同学发的一张照片，照片是她上小学二年级的儿子一脸愁苦的样子，配文是儿子开学第一天就被老师批评了，然后害怕钻到了桌子底下。听着想到了我儿子，觉得小孩真是挺可怜的。不过，小同学朋友说老师挺好的，打电话给她，说和她一起帮助她有些多动的儿子。
