林外路口那戶人家搬走有三個星期了。舊主人的院子裏有棵巨大的楓樹。我自今年夏天開始留意它。它的葉子在主人搬離前就悉數變紅了,這讓我為他們高興,至少在搬離前,他們看到了門家大楓樹一樹火紅的葉子。我想那一樹的紅葉對主人道別,願他們一路平安,新生活順利快樂;想著主人帶著紅葉的祝福,依依不舍地駛離。

 

如今,紅葉盡落,滿樹的枝叉在深秋的藍天下,靜靜地訴說著它的思念。兩個中介來房屋拍照,我想出售價定會超出主人預期的價格不少,如今全美很多地方的房源都是供不應求。 

It has been three weeks since the family living in the white house next to the woods moved to North Carolina. There is a giant red maple tree in the yard. I have been noticing the tree since this summer. The leaves all turned to red before their leaving. I was happy to see that. So the red leaves would say farewell to the families, the families would leave with  reluctance and the red leaves’ best wishes.  

 

Now the red leaves all gone. in this beautiful late fall afternoon, under the blue sky, the trunk, branches and twigs are silently expressing their reminiscence of the good time they had with their master.

 

Two cars are parking in the yard. has the house been sold? Here is my question.

One woman and one man get out of the cars. From their dressing, I think most probably they are realtors.

There is a house shortage in many states, undoubtedly the property can be sold at a good price. Thinking here, I recall  the conversation between me and the realtor who helped me buy my property. She is young, should be under 35. “

今天校滑雪俱樂部第一次活動,因為要在校車上坐近一小時,所以特別買了KN95口罩,盡管我想我們可能都被O感染過了,不是說40%是無症狀者嘛。自上次滑雪已經一年了,叮嚀他要小心。他噢了一聲,多方觀察,發現他是個小心的孩子。距離北京冬奧會開幕不到二十天了,祝願一切順利。問家人估計什麽時候國內會開放,讓外麵的人回去。答說沒那麽快,等新聞媒體風向開始有所變化時,那就不遠了。回去時一定要帶小孩體驗一下那些新建的冬奧設施。

laopika 回複 悄悄話 沒錯,全美房價都在漲,我昨天剛收到有關部門的信,通知我由於房價上升,今年的稅也得上漲了:)
