endless beach time

I love those cloud to death, pieces of still cloud, as if they always stay there and will never move.

The more I come to this ocean, the more I love it. All trouble will go out away all of a sudden, I feel my soul is clear like the blue sky above me.

Above the land I stand, and the water I face .

























apple tree


There is an old tree by the drive way to the back yard. I usually parked my car on the driveway , right under the tree to share the coolness.

Today I stepped off the car and looked up, and saw those two Baby apple, maybe that kind of wild apple.

it turns out to be an apple tree. a little suprise.

flying kite







I like the color tone of these pictures taken by iPhone,it's almost early evening. The beach is windy and started to cool down.

I look sad. But that is actually real me.

dim sum.nature science.dumpling house


Living this town for 7 years, passing by this Chinese restaurants, I never thought of eating here someday, even about 4 years ago, An American daddy I met in playground told me they had nice dim-sum. But this morning I suddenly want to try it.

Not good, too much oil, will not come again.




Nature science museum. we usually play outdoors in their huge playground or seeing animals in their farm. Today we step in, the museum itself is very old and quite, a children room filled with legos, but pretty dirty. They played a little while and I took time to have some pictures for myself. now I found myself addictive to self-portrait.:)


This morning my neighbour brought me a huge bunch of Hydrangea she plants in her garden, how beautiful they are.... I am thinking what suitable to bring to her...

our works


larry用lego作了一个可以上弦以后自己写字的机器,弦用皮筋来解决。他对这类机械的东西很入迷。



我又包了红豆泥粽子。小时候我妈包的红枣粽子,水里放几只生蛋一起煮,煮出的白水蛋蛋白很嫩,蛋黄很香。从小我就很喜欢吃甜粽子和煮白水蛋。

Today


Vivien in school, Larry and Me went to Target to get some organizing boxes for toys. He is hungery, so we got a pizza and stayed their starbucks for a while.

I love this Free People skirt, this should be this summers trend, very very long and big hem. I have to lift it when I go stairs. But it is quite eyeball catching when I walking fast on the street, with the skirt flowing and flying, I guess.:) And I was lucky it was on sale on Bloomingdale and I didn't pay original price.


泰拳道课完毕回家的路上,在车站通道附近的石墙上看到一只吸附在墙壁上的肉虫,很像摆脱了背壳的蜗牛,它是活得,甚至眼睛在动,可我们都不知道这到底是什么虫子。


泰拳道回家的路上,经过救火队,他们在这个很有象征意义的铁环上留影。

tonight, we went to Darian town again, that dumpling house. But they had chicken earlier and were no hungery , so the food was not as delicious as last time. This is a great restaurant in local, when we got there, and were asked for reservation, and the room was filled up with people. But we waited for about 5 minutes to get sitted. not bad.

他在上课,她在等


这些花养了一年了



有个漂亮的花盆会鼓励我去养一些植物。去年孩子们在国内的时候我从一些nursery store和home depot买了几株植物,买了泥土,移植到一些漂亮的花盘中,一年过来,大部分已经干枯,这几株坚强的跟着我到新家来。WENDY看到说中间的漂亮,我打算再去买一些移植到花盆中送给她一盆。大的园艺我没有能力搞,厨房是我最常活动的地方,时常不经意瞥到一些绿莹莹的东西,心里也充满了绿意。

trip to downtown Manhattan

Tritiny Church I always feel great when I come to church, perhaps it is not much related with religion. How wonderful it is to step in a giant space with hundreds years of history? plus those splendid pictures, lamp,decoration....let it alone that it is always a place to easy your mind. Tritiny church museum





The sculpture outside of church At wall st. , even Sports club has golden lable.:)



My lunch, at an indian fast food restaurant, absolutely non-authentic, but wrap taste great.If you dont' go nyc, you would never see how many and how diversified those restaurants are. Many of them are great and original, zagat rated,but not expensive due to hash competition.


The Sunday fair near Sea Port. The enviorement is not good, since the traffic from cross street to Brooklyn Bridage. Too noisey and kind of dirty, anyway it is NYC.

Finally a quiet street shortcutting those busy tourisem streets. I got a lemon pie from fair and have it as the afternoon snack. Mindball Game. two persons sit face to face competing who is more relaxed. when the game starts, both parties wear the head test brace and push button. The ball will start from the middle. If one party is getting more relaxed, s/he will power-push the ball more close to the other party. The game will end if the ball was power-pushed to the range of one party.


I wanted to try this game and happned to beat an asian girl. I thought I am not a relaxed one, but it only took up to one minute for the ball to go into her end. It has no trick, I don't know how I won.:)




有些身形高大的男人胆子小,也许是对人体的神秘性有敬畏,于是我把人体图片删掉吧,以免吓坏了他。:)

Middleburry, Connecticut

上周六我们去了康州中部的Middleburry的amusement park去玩,下午出来,我从小路取近上高速开往danbery。小路上经过一些人家,离城市偏远的地方,居民的庭院宽敞一览无遗。让我想起来半年前NPR news的采访,一个local长大的女士抱怨乡村离我们越来越远了,她小时候熟悉的乡村现在都变成了downtown.有人欢喜有人悠,很多矛盾都有它存在的道理。相信大多数的人都喜欢便利的生活吧。所以这样的图片就总是成为内心里向往的一些东西,甚至能成为心情安定剂。

最近因为太忙老到wholefoods买沙拉作早中饭,在等候制作沙拉的过程,看着眼前的一tray一tray的各类蛋白蔬菜以及调料,我开始蠢蠢欲动,买了各类料回家。

现在冰箱里的上面两格整齐的码着一个一个的饭盒,装着过油熟透的三文鱼,白水煮蛋,拨开切碎的avocado,豆腐丁,蘑菇,洋葱, roast pepper dressing.下面的箱子里装着几袋蔬菜。

这样从外面忙着各类琐碎的事情回来不必开火了。连续吃了几天,居然很上瘾,我感觉自己营养很充足,又因为摄取的蛋白均衡少脂肪,堪称健康饮食了,也不怕吃多了会胖。

刚才照镜子,看到自己很衰,这提醒自己赶紧过磅,果不然重了5LB,已经过了130LB了,腰上一圈赘肉箍在内裤的松紧带上面悠悠的颤着。

已经半夜12点,睡不着,只好起来将衣帽间收拾顺便丢一些卡路里,然后写下这篇耻辱的日志。


半夜,我越发后悔七点以后还吃了豆腐丝,穿上前日买的anthropogie这款新裙子。这种款式长发长胳膊细腰的女子穿起来会很有效果,这个时刻我看起来越发悲催了一些。以此照为戒吧。

Anthropologie 2










不想去拥有anthropologie的让海盗着迷的吊灯,如果今后拥有自己的小房子,我一定会买她们的地毯。我还从来没有看过第二家店有如此规模的有欣赏价值的地毯。这些图案几乎一眼看上去就爱上了,赶紧看看价格。8*10尺寸大抵有1000到2000刀左右的样子,应该算是low-end luxury,我可以接受的奢侈。

大多数正面羊毛反面全棉。我曾经买过一个bathroom rug,全面,洗过多次,仍然像新的一样。


欣赏这些地毯就是欣赏一些精美的艺术品。
