N年前,我的后院有一片小树林。这里是女儿玩耍的地方
首先铺设Lawn Edger,把草地和树林分开。安装了一个Arbor,是以后小路的入口。Arbor的两边种了Yellow Jasmine。紧挨着Lawn Edger的地方种了Dianthus做Ground Cover
开始设计小路。原计划是只建一个Central Park。第一排是上面说的 Dianthus。第二排是栀子花,然后是firepower nandina等常绿植物。小路的外围种Chinese Pivet。另一条是林间小路,通往女儿的Swing Set。保留松树。
但200N年的第一场雪,把好多松树都压弯了。树都斜了,只好砍倒。最后,干脆全砍了。砍了我2,3个月。一天砍1,2棵。再锯成小段,搬出去。报废电锯一个,锯条3根。
树是全砍完了。可给我累惨了。没劲再铺路了。请人铺了水泥路
就是酱紫。其间有陆陆续续种了Azelea,Creeping Flox,樱花,等
为解决交通难问题,修了小桥
后来又修了长江2号桥
每年3月,连翘揭开了春天的序曲
雨后的连翘很黄很暴力
种的紫藤入侵性及强。一小棵就覆盖一大片
接着Willow Charry开满了雪片一样的白花
雨后更显得晶莹剔透
kwanzan cherry 格外娇艳
四月的后院就更热闹了。Creeping Flox铺天盖地。
几颗郁金香点缀其间
Eastern Redbud
Dogwood
各色杜鹃花争奇斗艳
Dianthus已经长大许多了。女儿的Swing Set也已经成了摆设。我也不再年轻。
雨后
五月的后院芳香四溢。首先是Star Jasmine,香气袭人
薰衣草散发着淡淡的清香
Chinese Pivet香气扑鼻
重头戏是5棵栀子花。奇香无比
你方唱罢我登场,2棵大花栀子将五月的花园带入高潮
谢谢欣赏。
You're half a world away
Standing next to me
It seems that everyday
I'm losing you almost invisibly
Though you are near
I can't reach that far
Across to where you are
And so you stay....
Just half a world away
And I would cross
The universe for you
What good would it do
If you weren't even there?
Tall you return
Until your way is clear
I will be here.....
Not half a world away
You're half a world away
And no one is there to blame
If love outlives it's day
And turns into an ember from a flame
I love you as before
Till worlds will be no more
Till I can find a way
To where you stay
Just half a world away
