The main task of this weekend

Hot 4526 views. 2013-10-20 22:23 | yesterday, afternoon, important, backyard, windows


I had planned to seal the windows of our bungalow with plastic to prevent the draughts this weekend. But a more important thing needs me to do at once. That is detaching the leaves from the corn stalks that have just been cut down and harvested in the plot behind our backyard. Mother has been taking up the job since last Thursday afternoon. I joined her the next afternoon when I came back from Changchun. Then yesterday and today we were all occupied with it. The work was proceeding slowly, nearly half of which has been finished. The stalks are still wet and green and must be aired. The dry leaves can be used as fuels for cooking.

People Around the world are seeking to return to the simple countryside life.

They are sick and tired of all those Electronic gadgets surrounding us and manipulating our daily lives. No cellphones and no television. Just a simple radio would be fine. No action movies like James Bond and just simple drama would be the best. Restore personal contacts among friends and relatives. No short messages on the cellphone. No chasing for the latest fashion, just ordinary clean clothing would be fine. We can still use some simple appliances to make our life comfortable but no electronics that would destroy personal contacts.

You are fortunate to have a place where you can grow things and enjoy the best that nature has given to human. It is indeed satisfying to sow the the seeds, watch it grow and enjoy it the way it should be.
