迟来的春花
1 February 2014
Hi! Aidan & everybody，
How are you doing? I heard that it is -40 F in Chicago and school is closed, isn't it?
We have very nice weather these days - fine and dry - excellent for outings and family visits - major festivities for Chinese New Year.
As usual we have a lot of eating - reunion dinner and then 'Open Year Rice'.
On top of the traditional chicken, duck, fish and oyster, we have our favourite 牙菇 －the much sought after Hakka dish. Most pleasing to your grand aunts are the green vegetables; they were all grown in the yards - 100% organic!!!!
Can you imagine great grandma is 88 and she is still farming !!!
Look at all these lush green Chinese celery - in foam boxes flower pots, at the front yard, back yard, every corner - all grown by great grandma 太婆 herself!
This bamboo fence was made to keep the kittens away.
Lettuce
green onion
turnips
sweet potatoes
pepper
lichen on tree trunk
wild flowers on the slope
