在暮春的季節
拖著老腿爬上山脊
隻為了來看你
你金燦燦地
高高挺立
我目不轉睛
卻仿佛看見
你花謝後
滿目的枯黃殘跡
春即將離去
夏就要來臨
待繁花落盡
山穀重歸沉寂
一切的美都是轉瞬即逝
四月的最後一個周末,好不容易約上三位驢友,重爬當年的根據地。今春的雨水太多,據說花籽都隨雨水衝下山來,故此低地的油菜花開得特別旺盛。爬了兩小時,下山時,膝蓋和腳後跟都在隱隱作痛。這大概是今年的最後一爬了,腿腳不利索了,好在花也會漸漸褪去,我也沒什麽好留戀的了。
還拍到了七星瓢蟲,第二張有兩隻一上一下,在愛愛。沒帶大相機,手機拍的我還特意放大了:))
回到家中,看著疏於打理的後院藤蔓淩亂,拿起工具準備修剪時,發現搖曳纖弱的枝條上有一隻小小的蜂鳥巢。五年了,蜂鳥媽媽重返後院,讓我驚喜!但願我沒有驚到它。
今春的枇杷被鬆鼠破壞糟蹋得太厲害,地上牆頭樹杈上到處是鬆鼠吃剩下的核、青黃的果子。我想盡辦法仍不能阻擋它的腳步,最後隻好聽之任之。人很多時候是鬥不過這些動物的。往年都會寄一些給女兒嚐嚐鮮,今年正巧女兒也說不用寄了,我自己吃,多一顆少一顆就無所謂了。社區的鬆鼠太猖獗了,都想砍了枇杷樹,少一分牽掛了。
枇杷被咬成這樣,這些鬆鼠太猖狂了。我們這目前還沒有大量鬆鼠,否則果蔬也要遭殃。
還好你們社區沒有鬆鼠。我們前些年也沒有的,去年前麵的大樹砍了以後,鬆鼠就發現我家的枇杷了。鬆鼠很能繁殖的,又不像老鼠,還不能殺的。我有把果子包起來,網兜啊,還有特意從temu買來的那種紮水果的袋子,它都能撕破,有時候你去趕它走,它還“鼠”視眈眈的,拿它沒辦法。枇杷今年吃到嘴不多,有些沒怎麽成熟就被破壞或被我摘了,唉。
謝謝小小來看我,五月快樂了!
小鬆鼠真是小禍害,金燦燦的枇杷被糟蹋了,真可惜!有沒有什麽網子可以保護起來?
我們這裏倒是沒有鬆鼠,不然果樹也難保啊。
問好暖冬,新周快樂!:))
My backyard is small, but whenever there are sprouted potatoes in the kitchen, I would plant them in the backyard. So I also have some of them here and there. You will be surprised how fresh they will be from your own backyard (its skin could be very thin, which you can peel it off using nails:) I think one day I will try Shepherd's pie, as I bet J will like it too.
With alternating rains and recent warm temperature, the flowers are mostly in full bloom, or actually fading. They are evanescent anyway:).
Thanks my friend. Have a great month of May!
Sorry to hear about your trouble with the squirrels. They do seem to be local. My neighbors' loquats have bumper crop every year. I myself think the fruit have too many seeds.
I planted 18 holes of Russet in my front yard garden out of six costly organic potatoes from the farmers market. (I was going to make Shepherd's pie with them but changed my mind when I saw the bill.) Three weeks later, 12 of them sprouted out of soil. I am full of great expectations :-)
回國時經過洛杉磯,海邊轉了一圈。喜歡油菜花,枇杷,在中國吃了不少。問好暖冬,周末快樂!
