One of my good friends rented a courtyard for three years with ten unit fruit trees at the suburbs in Beijing. At the last week she invited us for visiting her place.

The location is not too far from the downtown, I drove there for forty minutes in the morning time, I bought some fresh green grapes and my hand made snakes to be gift for our dearest sisters. Five or six of our friends will have the great home lunch together today. When I was entering the village, her courtyard is in the front with many cute gooses and ducks, like welcoming us and to be our guide into the home.

Her husband was waiting us since yesterday, welcome drink which was lemon and some fresh spice water, it was very fresh tasting I like it very much. There are three or four bed rooms and a very big kitchen, even there is no much furniture but it looks so clean and tidy, some flowers and vegetables in the side of courtyard for the decoration, water pipe in the middle is easy for washing, a big umbrella with rocking chair at the corner.  It looks so pleasuring and relaxing.  As our plan we would like having steam dumpling for main course of lunch, as everybody knows that the wild vegetable is very unique and special for steam dumpling, that’s totally green food, as we were told its everywhere at the ground. You know our coming one thing is import to pick up some fruits to home, as this period, only plum for harvest, the pear and apple are still young as we can see. Maybe someday later we would like come again.

You know for our female, the picture and group photos no matter where we are, which the first thing to have is, in different poses we may take great patient for each other, somebody said you are coming for pick up fruits or for photos? I said we come here together for funs, shooting and eating both are enjoying for us.
