Sapphire's been upgraded

From a humble beginning , a resident in a fish bowl,
with some corals, fake plant and fish statue
http://www.tanaraga.blogspot.com/2013/01/our-new-family-member.html

Now he lives in a 5 gallons aquarium equipped with filter and heater
with some water plants, moss balls, wood block
he got new friends ; snails, ghost and cherry shrimps, cory fish
he also gets blood worm treat once a week

Life is sweeter for him now
Since my husband takes care of him

The Long and Cold Winter

the pear trees in this winter

A really hard winter this year
Blame it on polar fortex

Schools cancelled, snow, black ice, shovel, snow blower, wind chills
When will this winter ends ?

I've been lazy ; skipping the gym,
watching the Netflix for hours
baking the goods that were not as good as I hope

I borrowed Laura Ingalls Wilder's The Long Winter
Finally, I feel luckier than those folks long ago
At least the heater is on, the groceries open,
the road is not blocked, the car is running, the gas is available

dear S, thanks for the shawl

So I don't want to complain ...
just be thankful of what are available to me
and use them ( hello again gym )

Gong Xi..Gong Xi

 

It's been a while since I wrote in this blog

I found it always hard to start again

Since the lunar new year came on Thursday January 30

I wanted to use it as a reason to blog again

So, dear readers, let me wish you

Happy Lunar New Year
