雪中戲逐犬喜拋球雪裏翻，覓食鬆鼠落魂蠻。目光對峙呼聲至，犬再回頭鼠樹援。
PS:本周二下了一場25厘米的大雪。中午我在公園賞雪時，見一主人遛狗。主人把球拋向遠處，寵犬在雪中一蹦一跳地跑，撲到球後，叼回給主人。盼著主人繼續扔。

頌竹翠竹立影送清涼,
瑟瑟笛簫風月影。
直正氣節皆仰止，
與君共眠後園中。此七絕是在《美語論壇》，讀下引海外逸士先生的雙語《詠竹》而作。“《詠竹》OdetoBambooby海外逸士習習清涼生翠影﹐蕭蕭月夜起幽吟。園中常有千竿植﹐一枕得徬君子眠。

朱熹【宋】治家格言-HomemakingAphorism 黎明即起，灑掃庭除，要內外整潔。既昏便息，關鎖門戶，必親自檢點。一粥一飯，當思來處不易．半絲半縷，恒念物力維艱。宜未雨而綢繆，毋臨渴而掘井。自奉必須儉約，宴客切勿留連。器具質而潔，瓦缶勝金玉。飲食約而精，園蔬勝珍饈。勿營華屋，勿謀良田。Atdawn,it'stimetogetupandsweepthecourtyard,whichissupposedtobecleanandtidyinsideandoutsid[閱讀全文]
