Bonzai Haircut
My bonzai plant has been screaming for a haircut whole winter long. I basically just ignored his request … until yesterday.
Before: Pale, dull, overgrown
I don’t really know how to trim a bonzai plant. It was a gift from my neighbor and I promised her that I will take good care of it. Ooops!
Okay, better late than never. I took out a scissor and started trimming away, trying to be as artistic as possible.
Here’s the result…
After: fresh & nicely groomed
Let’s see the before and after together.
Before & After
Ooo…. looking so handsome! 🙂
How about a close-up?

It’s still looking a little pale. So, I signed him up for a sun tan session on the porch. I like to spoil my plants. 🙂
Making Babies
I didn’t take my veggie beds with me when I moved to South 2nd last year. 🙁
I plan to have four new veggie beds at this new property, but so far none is happening …. yet…
Since the weather is so good already, I feel like I am wasting time not to do anything about it.
So, finally I decided to JUST DO IT!
Ready to make babies
What I needed: Organic seeds, black soil, good old clay pots, homemade tags, magic hands, and…
voila!
Newborns coming soon...
I felt like I was tagging the newborns in the hospital ward. It was amazing how simple it was to bring lives to this world.
Now, with some water and sunshine, my babies will start growing. 🙂
Hopefully I would have my veggie beds ready for these new babies two weeks from now.
Splash of color
Tulips in my garden
Like lotus flowers floating in the air
once a year full bloom
Pear tree blossoms. What a view from my bedroom windows. I can tell we're gonna have lots of pears later this year.
Big River Man
Went for a jog at 5:30pm today. I did better than my last jog! ^_^ Jia You!
I highly recommend the movie Big River Man. I watched it at Sondheim Theater last night. Big River Man, Martin Strel himself showed up at the showing and stayed for Q & A. This is one of the perks living in Fairfield. This community is so blessed to constantly having special guests like Martin. Martin is such a simple man, with incredible vision and drive. I just love him for that.
He did mention that the wine that he drank while swimming the mighty Amazon river had only 1% alcohol content. The movie made him look like an alcoholic, for Hollywood effect.
Go watch this movie, and you’ll love the homorous Martin and be inspired at the same time.
