Happy Tree Low
Dong Xuedan
There are two tall happiness trees in the house, growing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. New buds continue to emerge from the branches, turning into tender green and fine leaves, and then slowly turning into shiny emerald green leaves. I especially like to sit under the tree, drink tea quietly, and watch the new leaves of the Happy Tree shine in the sun.
Occasionally, one or two birds will stroll leisurely along the edge of the narrow windowsill, pulling my eyes out of the window. In this season when the fragrance is dyed by osmanthus, you can see through the window on the fourth floor that the community is full of high and low, deep and shallow green. If you look closely, you can tell that there are evergreen privet , heather , lamina magnolia, Nantian bamboo , oleander ... I prefer the wisteria downstairs. It is just the free extension of the vines, the new softness and casual calmness that make me feel excited. When spring comes, I think of the blooming of wisteria flowers and purple air, and I naturally think of the blooming of trees after trees in spring.
Look in the distance again, in the gap between the buildings, you can vaguely see the mother river of Zhoukou - Shaying River. The riverside is one of my favorite places. It has become a landscape belt, with trees green and flowers blooming in every season. Sitting under the tree of happiness, looking away, I will think of the shore at this moment, where there are rows of crape myrtle flowers blooming, where there are gathered into pieces of lunacy trees and beautiful fruits, where there are large sunflowers and still gorgeous, where there are different colors of garlic blooming in competition...
My love for flowers, plants and trees seems to be innate. In recent years, the WeChat Moments has almost been a world of flowers, plants and trees, and the back garden of the soul. When you are tired, you will walk around the garden and talk to a flower you know or don’t know, or a silent or ostentatious grass. Some friends saw the flowers and plants I posted and envied me for being able to travel everywhere if I have free time. In fact, most of the flowers and plants are seen between two points and one line with home and unit as the center. I was tired of working, so I took a break at noon and took a walk at night. I walked to the yard of the unit or the nearby roadside and took a walk around, and took a photo of a few small flowers and grass. In recent years, there have been more small gardens on the streets of Zhoukou, and the number and variety of flowers, plants and trees on the roadside have also increased. Each season will show different shapes or different flowers and plants. On the way to and from get off work, as long as you slow down, you will see a world of grass and trees. Walking in the world of plants and trees, flowers and plants are quiet. When you are with flowers and plants, feel that "the world has great beauty without saying it", your heart is also quiet. You can quietly listen to the blooming of flowers, the whispers of grass, and the chanting of leaves, and quietly feel the beauty of the changing seasons of the grass and trees world and the ubiquitous growth around you... In the world of grass and trees, you can temporarily empty yourself and eliminate the busyness and fatigue in the real world.
Because I like flowers and plants, I have another topic with my friends. Once, a friend sent me a few pictures of Drunken Butterfly Flower in Hainan and asked if I had seen it. I replied: "There is a small piece of flower bed on the roadside at the entrance of the family yard. It was planted about two years ago." Another time, a friend who was traveling abroad sent me the brocade flower picture, and I replied: "We also have it in our riverside park and railway park, and it is a large area." In recent years, for various reasons, I have rarely walked out of Zhoukou, let alone Henan Province, but there are really a lot of flowers and plants I have seen and photographed. I used to see which kind of flowers or trees in a city on the Internet. Now I can encounter many flowers and trees I have never seen before without leaving Zhoukou. Flowers and plants that were originally not common in urban greening are now very common on the streets. For me, the unexpected encounter with these flowers and plants has a lot of happiness.
One night a few days ago, I was walking in the community with my lover, walking in the ubiquitous fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and I felt that my clothes and mood were filled with fragrance. I said, "Although there are not many flowers in this season, the fragrance of osmanthus makes autumn soulful."The lover said, "Although there are not many flowers now, there are many fruits, you see, there are dates, peaches, persimmons, hawthorns, pomegranates and ... everything is there. "I sighed: "Yes, there are so many flowers, plants and trees in the yard, and there is a botanical garden behind it. I really like this place more and more! "My lover was also very moved: "Seven or eight years ago, it was still wild here! Who would have thought that the front and back have become gardens now, and the original stinky ditch has also become a small bridge and flowing water landscape in the park! A few days ago, I saw a few children catching dragonflies. I haven’t seen this in the city a few years ago! "I smiled: "Yes, the environment is better now. Look, there is a big garden outside and a small garden inside. No matter what its original name is, in my heart, it is called "Garden"! ”
continued to walk in the "garden", walked downstairs of the unit, looked up at the home upstairs, and in the colorful lights and shadows of solar lights and , you can see the outline of the shadows of the happy tree. I began my own imagination: "Wait until spring, sit under the happy tree, drink tea, and watch the flower stands climbing downstairs with wisteria flowers, it must be very beautiful. "The lover is also very interesting: "There will be a few birds flying around among the flowers. "Yes, yes, downstairs there are cherry blossom , elm leaf plum , purple leaf plum . Once it blooms, it is full of flowers. If you fly by a few birds, you will be beautiful if you think about it. ”
When I got home, I sat under the happiness tree, and watched the happiness tree stretch casually and casually. Just watch quietly, I was very happy.
