早晨醒來，天空陰鬱一片，我下樓去了廚房，打開廚房的竹簾，讓空氣和光進來。隨後又打開水龍頭，洗著早餐的食物。水龍頭裏流出的水帶點溫度，一度讓我以為自己是把龍頭擰向熱水部分。遂查看了兩遍，確定是正常的冷水位置。水從指尖流過，我的眼前忽地出現了小時候冬天去井水汲水洗衣服，水桶被拎上來的那一刹，浮在水桶表層的一絲若有若無的暖氣飄散開來的畫麵......
昨天發現那袋幹蓮子長蟲子了。把早餐放入蒸鍋後，又端著盛著蓮子的一個大盤子，走到了後院，把它放在了下午陽光可以照到的地方。秋天的院子，已經涼意襲人了。西紅柿上掛著零星幾顆變紅的果子，葡萄藤上的葉子已經開始枯黃，晨風吹來，幾分蕭瑟，幾分秋意。
咳嗽隱約地回來了，每年都要咳一陣，看來這肺是有點弱。昨晚煲了一鍋的蓮子，綠豆，紅豆，紅棗，百合，早上自己盛一碗出來，一勺一口，很快一碗暖暖的湯下肚，頃刻間五髒六腑好像都得到了滋潤。隻是不知對咳嗽能起到多大的作用，這咳嗽會持續多久? 可惜了我這個想唱歌的念頭。人生還真是想唱就唱，想幹嘛幹嘛，現如今咳嗽了，唱不了了。
九點差一刻到了公司，把車趴在了公司對麵的停車場。這裏比較空，有不少樹蔭下的位置，這樣中午如果有時間可以來車上小憩。 走出車，腳下一地的碎葉發出窸窸窣窣的聲音。
踏進公司，碰見了Lynn迎麵打招呼，她的一句Happy Monday and Happy the First Day of Autumn讓我記起今天是北美日曆裏的第一個秋日，也是秋風時節。特此小記。
At 7:20 am this morning, I was downstairs in the kitchen to prepare for the breakfast. It was a cloudy morning, and the sun was nowhere to see. So I rolled up the window blinds to let the air and light in. Then I turned on the faucet for washing. The water was warm. For a moment, I thought I might have accidentally shifted the faucet to heat position. But I didn’t. All of a sudden, I remember the old winter days back home, when I had to handwash clothes by the well. It is the warm well water that mollified the otherwise harsh winter washing. As each bucketed water from the well was lifted, on the water surface arose some thinly steam, quickly vaporizing in the cold wind.
I parked the car across the street of our office building, as I have been doing this for a month now. Walking by the towering trees lined on both sides of road, underneath which is strewn with fall leaves, I felt a bit chilled.
I was at the office by the time the wall clock showed 8:50. After logging in, I took the cup and headed to the kitchen. On the way I met Lynn, a plump lady in HR, and I greeted her good morning. Her brisk response of “Happy Monday and Happy the first day of Autumn” reminded me that today is the first day of Autumn according to North America’s calendar. It is really an equinox day, when day and night are of same length. And it looks like that the sun knows that well, hiding behind and having a lazy morning, while the wind takes the lead in embracing us.
The sun finally broke out around 10:22 by the time I am writing this short journal. It's forecast that there will be Santa Ana wind tomorrow, and possible rains towards the end of the week. Will see.
另外，我買回來的幹貨都放到冰箱的冷凍將移動兩天，再也不會長蟲子了。很有效的，你試試看。
暖冬秋意小記寫得真好，隨心記錄了生活的點點滴滴，很喜歡！
問好暖冬並祝秋天愉快！
The winter in the north felt bleak and something to endure, except for the Chinese New Year, of course.
I coughed slightly for two nights last week. Had it lasted, I'd try fasting. Take care.
我媽媽總給我們吃銀耳，百合，梨湯。
蓮子是好東西，我們也常吃，但是好像不潤肺。
問好！秋安！
