10/29/2021 林子里的五彩路(a colorful road in the woods)

8/22/2020

塘里的水又浅了，一棵老木横倒在水塘边的黑泥中，棕灰色的树干被黄绿色的水草和夏萍衬着，强烈的色彩反差，让老树断枝得更显沧凉。我多希望此时能有一只小鸟飞落到老木上，再不然有一只乌龟爬上去，甚至是一只蟾蜍跳上去，那感觉便会不同了。可我发现：水中的断木独在时显得凄凉，但若是有鸟儿，乌龟，甚至是青蛙蟾蜍在上面脚处，感觉便截然不同了。自然界中各物种的存在都有其存在的美意，就像我常常会被那些生在大小树木下的苔鲜，菌类，及其它伏地生植物所打动一样。

The pond gets even smaller as the water become shallow. An old rotten wood is laying in the black mud at the water’s edge. the significant color contrast between its greyish-brown trunk and the greenish-yellow duckweed, and waterweed, makes the old wood look bleaker. I wish there was a bird, or a turtle, or even a toad resting on the wood. It would make me feel different. In nature, anything that exists has a reason for its existence. People cheer up for beautiful flowers, tall trees, but many times I was impressed by moss, fungus, and other creeping plants who grow in the shady trees or bushes.

林中的小溪干涸了,现出了棕灰色的溪床。 

The stream dries up, the brownish grey streambed is completely exposed in the air. I stand on the trail,  gaze at the two big stones on the streambed, thinking the good time when they were caressed by the smooth water flow, thinking when will the good time come back again.

1。有听认识不到65岁的朋友，因为原本身体不好，申请打了3RD COVID-19 VACCINE SHOT莫苗， 虽然副作用反应比第二次小，但还是挺明显的。 她的母亲打了辉瑞的第三针，第三针后的反应比第二针还强。这疫苗副作用真是看运气，别人的经验不等于你的。以后我不到迫不得已，还是算了。

2。前天用姜母鸭的做法做出了姜母鸡，满屋里是香油和老姜的香气。昨天又做了啤酒鸡，和啤酒鸭一样的好吃。儿子听说是用大半瓶啤酒做成的，担心不可以吃。我说；你真是个心中有法的好孩子，不过啤酒经过高温，其分子构成一定发生了变化，没问题的，要不没听说中国不让小孩吃啤酒鸭。儿子放心地吃了。

3。明天这里的北方天空会出现北极光现象，准备好了。
