| | Do you like to see Plants and Trees around you. | | I love to see Greenery around me especially outside city limits. For me it is a great relief from noise and smoke pollution. I like to see lots of green plants and green trees. I feel the environment around me a lot fresher and livelier.Do you feel the same. Please share your comments. | |
| | | What is your favorite part of nature? | | What is the most beautiful, or maybe just your favorite part of nature? The choices are vast: waterfalls, rainbows, a sunny sky...I love weeping willow trees. There were a couple of them in my grandparent's neighborhood when I was a little girl. I thought they were so pretty.The picture is of a waterfall in my state. | |
| | Do you like rain？can the rain make you recall sth?? | | talking about this,first, I must tell you where i live . northwest of China---Lanzhou City. it's a arid place.so i like rain specially.i can breath fresh air when it is a rainy day. Today,it is rain all day. the trees on the hill are so green,i hope that rainbow will be seen.
i remember that the rainbow came at the same day 2 years ago. and,it's the same time i came to Lanzhou fisrt. taking a walk along the Yellow River is a speciall interesting. willow trees standing on the road probobly say ‘hello' to you. it was a nice day.rain,i like you. you give me so many perfect things.friends,do you like it,what ....did she give you? let's share,ok? | |
| | What trees grow in your country? | | In Canada we have evergreens by the millions. Also oak, elm and willow trees.
Not to mention the parts of the country where we grow fruit.
Apple, cherry, apricot, peach and cherry trees.
What trees are local to your country? | |
| | What do you think of rushing? | | Swallows may have goone,but there is a time of return;willow trees may have died back,but there is a time of regreening;peach blossoms may have fallen,but they will bloom again.now,you the wise,tell me,why should our days leave us,never to return?--if they had been stolen by someone,who could it be?where could he hide them?if they had made the escape themselves,then where could they stay at the moment?i do ot know how many days i have been given to spend,but i do feel my hands are getting empty.takiing stock silently,i find that more than eight thousand days have already slid away from me.like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean,my days are dripping into the stream of time,soundless,traceless.already sweat is starting on my forehead,and tears welling up in my eyes. | |
| | My Dog Won................... | | Today was a red letter day in my little town.
The abandoned house and shed next door finally came down.
At 6am this morning a huge John Deere watchamacallit, with a big toothy bucket on a huge bendy arm thingy, came rolling in from the back alley and began demolition.
It woke up my dog.
The dog woke up me..............
Between the 'reverse alarm', hydraulic hissing, breaking glass, snapping of broken walls, collapsing of roofs, screeching of metal on metal, the pounding of the earth when the bucket hit and the dogs frantic barking..........
Well you can imagine that my lovely dream of bananas and cream was rudely interrupted!
It took all day for the house and shed to get cleared, the lilac bushes and willow trees to come out and the dog to calm down. She ran back and forth inside her dog run barking up a storm. I know loud noises bother her, but she was downright frantic.
Especially when the bucket began pulling the lilac bushes away from the long side of her dog run.
I stood in my side door and took pictures of the demo, but finally the dog's distress had me putting on my shoes and going out into the back yard.
Spunky came right over to me and nearly scaled her fence to... | |
| | Shovels At The Ready! | | We gathered on the grassless village green. Shovels at the ready, hoes shiny and bright, wheelchairs oiled and beer on ice in the barrel. The idea was to prep the land for grass seed. I should have left the beer in the pub!
I spread everyone out in a line and we began to work our way from one end to the other, hoeing and turning the soil with shovels while the sun beat down and the wind lifted the hair on the back of our necks.
We worked and sang and whistled our way through an hour of scraping and shallow digging.
BEER BREAK suddenly rang out in the air and all utensils hit the ground in unison!
Mad Meg - all tiny feet and hands and wild hair flitted about handing out bottles and talking a mile a minute to her 'spirit guides' who apparently, were criticizing our manual efforts to bring some green to our village green.
Walleyed Tom, of the wandering eyeball and busy hands, engaged himself in searching rather furtively, all the open pockets of the ladies he could creep up on unawares, looking I think, for a bottle opener! He seemed so disappointed when I showed him how to twist the cap off his beer bottle! Oddly, the ladies seemed a little disappointed too! LOL

| | What are a Few of Your Favorite Things? | | List as many as you can think of.I like tulips, hearts, butterflies, smiley faces, horses, lady bugs, shoes, purses, animals, weeping willow trees, shopping, Ebay, MyLot, flipping through gift catalogues such as Hariett Carter & Oriental Trading Co., jewelry (I actually make my own sterling silver & gemstone jewelry), I like cherry wood finishes, big screen TVs, the look of a stormy sky with a group of white bird flying by - the contrast of white on stormy grey is amazingly beautiful, watching birds fly, babies, bellydancing, all kinds of music, Angel perfume, gadgets - especially technology gadgets like computers and cellphones with all the 'bells and whistles" - I like to figure them out on my own, without reading the manual. | |
