My Lawn

Chinese New Year is coming soon, so yesterday we were told to clean the lawn, trim the flowers, mow the grass and etc etc. It's been so long since i worked in the lawn, never really have paid attention to all the flowers and tree around, and when i looked close to them, they have really grown up, big and tall. Branching here and there, up and down the walls, with lots of flowers. Look very messy but beautiful.

So, basically we just cut off the unwanted branches, and tried to make them look more tidy and neat in a sense, but somehow when we finished our work, we realized that the trees and flowers had no more branches left, and all the flowers were gone. Let's hope we didn't kill them...

Of course, i took some of the branches and planted them on the ground, hoping that they will grow up. Not really sure if they can survive, some may, some may not, well i will just hope for the best. It was a strange feeling to walk on the lawn again, a sense of belonging emerged from the bottom of my heart, making me felt sort of warm and happy. There were lots of memories here, every plant, every tree, every flower and even the grass were planted by me, or at least i had helped last time, when i was still a child. And now, to return back, and be able to examine them in close and knowing that they had grown up beautifully, i got certain feelings of satisfaction. These are the ones that truly belonged to me, in a way. Looking at how gorgeous they have become, so i couldn't control myself and took some pictures of them, and all these served as some sort of certifications of my efforts, and how proud i am for them...

The sky was grey, and it was so beautiful to look at the lawn, and how the flowers and leaves danced with the rhythms of the wind, and i was smiling. This is my lawn...
