You Make A Sanctuary For Us

We moved some of our plants into the house. Maybe we can alternate some between house and green house. I do not know why our beings attach with somethings. I guess that is just living is all about. Surely they are making a sanctuary for us in the long cold winter. I wonder if I am able to make them happy and thrive.

A Ritual

Winter draws close to us. It is time for the ritual once every year. I have to retreat with all my plants and move them into our green house. It is back-breaking effort. I just hauled them in and have not got a chance to make them settled nicely yet. I would like to have a very last look at them. Life cycle just goes through another year. Expect some new surprise as well as nostalgia when a year forwards. I guess that is the beauty of gardening, maybe life as general. Caring, reflecting and growing.

Canned Tomato

We started last year to do home-made canned tomato. We did enjoy the whole winter that followed-especially making my trademark dish Spaghetti with Chines Meat Ball. It was totally home-made since the tomato was from our garden. This year we had to purchase some from our Farmers'market since our garden did not produce enough. It was a busy Sunday. Sammy made Cheese Cake for Mary's dinner before we changed gear to do the canned tomato.

Mary's dinner was wonderful. She is a great artist creating beautiful stuff. She is brutally honest and a proud liberal. I hope that my mind can still be sharp and young like her when I am beyond 80 if there is a 80 for me. I just feel very luck to have a lot of ordinary but extraordinary wonderful people around.

Well here they are
