Free Birdhouse from Garage Sale - 免費鳥屋

This cute birdhouse I got it in Community Garage Sale for FREE from last weekend.
During Spring/Summer time, Garage sale everywhere. People will bring out their unused house ware to clothing for sale in front of yard or in the garage drive way.
Me and my buddy Irene love shopping in garage sales, (our therapy treatment.. can be low cost or can be expensive..) We can spend whole afternoon browsing the street looking for sale, looking for good deal. Sometime we get goodie, sometime just JUNK. When it's almost end of the day, some houses still have tones of items not sold yet will have a FREE sign out for you to take, that is how I got this birdhouse Free. BoyBoy also got some free toys or good deal toys too.
I started to teach my son looks for quality and good deal! Hey! never too early to teach them managing money orr.. but he still have no clue.....
Slowly...

More flower pictures..
Dandelion all over the Lawn, Field and along the road , it a troublesome weed, it looks pretty when it flowers, it look terrible when it turn into white weed and dispersing all over, this happen all summer.
蒲公英開花時好似菊花浦滿地上就好靚嘅,但花瓣一脱下就會變成白色種子驅散到四处‧好难睇㗎!
Lilac is blossom now, found only one color in the park, will have to hunt for other colors later...........紫丁香季節.

Getting into High Gear! 跨到四字頭

"40th is double the fun. Midlife crisis is far away!" Between Yesterday(Sunday) and Today(Monday), my age make huge different in Numbers. I was 39+ and Today I turned 40th. . } ( (like when you shop in store, if an item cost $39.99 and a same item cost $40.00 in a store, even one penny different, mentally you feel the $39.99 cost a big different in numbers/price, much less. that how I feel the night I turn 40th . I can't let go my $39.99.. woo waaaha! cry out loud!)
Forty...... I was a bit uncertain about this age, I can't believe it but sort of deny it, until my colleague's send her wishes to me and said, " in 40th you are only getting into High Gear! and many happy returns.."
Indeed, flashing back on my past 39 years, so far in every stage I LIVE !I've being there、 done it and I should still be looking forward for more adventure in life... ..oh accept..(should be rich and whealthy)
BTW, when to shop today and saw an art stone engraved with a sentence said: Growing OLD is Mandatory, Growing up is an options.?!?...I maybe get it..!? Oh well, 40th is double the Fun, no fear ...... just do it!
"It's a very short trip. WHILE ALIVE, L-I-V-E-! Malcolm Forbes" 一日差别、我的年龄就誇四字頭‧
依依不捨的三十歲字頭‧‧‧就這樣溜走......
這四十年來,每一個十年之路我也算活得好滿足‧
一至十歲屋企環境唔好,冇乜童年照片可回憶,不過惱海中也填滿好多同家姐哥哥的童年趣事‧
少 年時的我失去媽媽,心中有如刀割深傷,無媽媽的日子好難過‧總要過,媽媽在天上也唔想見到我們衰傷太久同浪費青春時间嘅!家人互相照顧,慢慢把悲傷放下,日子總算過了去‧
中學到高中的我十分好動,参加好多活 動,朋友甚多的,無憂無愁無知、不過也算過的十分充實。好彩D朋友同學係正經人家、未有媽媽身邊成長也未學壞!學生時期交的朋友永遠最真!

二 十歲出來工作,二姐帮我找到一份我鐘意做的工作,成功見成一份在 publisher 做 layout artist‧識朋友拍過puppy拖,對外界十份好奇多期望。不過這一段時期十分短暫,之後二+幾歲同家人移民加國,從新適應新地方新環境新事物‧踫過 釘衝過板也哭過,沒什么真朋友(但係年级大了‧有小猫三四個知己够哂数!)、但生活挑戰之餘也十分精釆、之後遇上真名天子,開始人生另一階段..除了學做 人太太‧又要懂得如何與夫家相处,好好彩,夫家的成圓也好相處尤其是老爺奶奶‧

三 十歲,因工作,婚後蜜月期加上自由自思想生活在而将生BB的事延遲‧婚後五年後先生了仔仔、人生又去到另一個堦段‧‧做媽媽的時 刻的感覺一言难盡,只係知道生仔的計劃迟了些 (如果再回頭選擇過會婚後一年有BB多個BB)、有BB家中也添了無盡生氣,雖然犧牲甚大但那種滿足有如喜從天降!有兒女萬事福、這種喜悦只有做人母親那 時就會明白了‧ (但現在仔仔唔激我時就very good 囉!哈哈!) 記得大姐曾經分享過,我們的生命好精釆‧雖然逝去光陰不回頭,但在自己每一個的十年之窗也發生不同的故事、不少人生經 歴+ 分珍貴,而我與大都份人一樣,每個階段能做到那個階段的人物事物‧這人生对我來說已好寫意!因為每一段也是我人生最佳時间‧

我 唔識盡用好的文字來表達心中的這些年來的順境逆境的喜怒哀樂,但你話人生是否能長長久久,可以順流至永遠呢?我唔知也不想去猜測,生命中的每個挫折、每個 喜怒傷痛、都有它的意義、我要記住人生無常生命無限好,只望日日是平安健全那就是好日,但願我未年幾十年活得更精采!仍然會努力去追求、不會強求、少D欲 求、來!為未來喝采!乾杯!

五月飛霜.....

唉!你们在他國一方、是否陽光普照?熱刺刺哩?
五月尾來了‧一朝早起身..見到屋外棵樹被雪蓋滿 (五月飛霜..吓!..太過份了.),因为D濕雪太重D樹技向不降、我心見到棵開滿花的樹被D雪咁蓋過、好心痛呀!
送左仔仔番学後,回到家中我摇動D樹枝將D雪掃去‧存讓D樹枝冇咁重而向下‧D花有好多掉落地上‧好彩D ChokerBerries 唔係來吃,如果係D cherry 子,等到收成時D果一定酸死囉!
今日天氣預測是零度底十度高溫‧卡加利D天氣很神化‧因为周未D天氣报告話会去到Plus+19度‧咁先正係春夏天嗎!十幾度D變化‧玩死卡加利人啦!好彩D人的身體適應能力强‧平常事囉!
天有不測的风雲!但這是否與地球暖化有関呢?所以環保人人有责‧請求每一個人都開始出少少力吧、為已為人、咁就日日是好日啦!TELL ME WHAT IS YOUR WEATHER IN YOUR END? MINE.. LOOK! We have snow fall.. isn't it cool........ Nah....... this is crazy man!Calgary is a weird place most of the time,, one minute sunny, next minutes snow storm.. Yes, we had snow fall last night, and it's almost end of May. My poor tree was cover with wet snow, snow melted in the afternoon, but still, where is my Spring and Summer breeze?, not freeze... No one can predict what mother nature can affects daily life, let's help & GO GREEN to protect the earth together, so that our next generations will still able to live in a fine and healthy earth. This is crab apple tree, for sure this year harvest, the apple will be even CRAB!

IF- and spring flowers in the neighbourhood

My second entry for this week illustration Friday theme_Citrus..
Added grapfruits this time..
I took some snap shots of Spring flowers in the neighbourhood this morning.
I think maybe because of not a lot of rain up to these days of Spring, most flowers blossom are not the same compare with last year, this time last year flowers blossom everywhere already.
Somehow, I spotted one house with a lots of colorful Tulip planted infront of the yard. It's so Beautiful and cheerful., and other houses have a blossom crab apple tree, chokeberry trees and a lot of Pink flowers that looks like Sakura flowers.
There will be a Lilac (type of Spring flowers) festival held this weekend, so, I would like to go and check out the festival and snap more flowers pictures.
More to come.. Enjoy.

Nicky boy,, my boy play pal

This is Nicky, a looking boy(one of my girlfriend's son), my boy loves to play with Nicky.
When they play, they talk, talk, talk. I mean non-stop talking to each other. Discussing about how to play,what to play, about their favourites toy cars to whatever, they just can't stop talking.
I remembered the last time they play together was weeks ago, we the parent had Dim Sum for lunch and I drove both of them home , Nicky's parent warned me about Nicky talking habit, he may drive me nuts. I said we will see. Get in the car, they start their conversation about what to play. Somehow, my boy is talkactive too, they both spent about 8 hours playing together, and non-stop talking for 8 hours.......... I wonder their mouth gets sore..两個開心菓
亂講開心講又唔駛think.. 鐘意講乜就講乜囉!童真嗎!
果日佢吔就講足八个鐘又唔停咁玩... 而我耳仔就聽足足八个鐘、Nicky阿媽話佢阿仔好烦講唔停、不過我又幾享受哦!
