After the autumn, the weather in the north seems to be much cooler at once. Especially in the morning and evening temperatures, even if you wear a thin jacket, you don't feel hot. The thunderstorms increased, rumbling for a while, and then stopped. Sometimes it happens in the middle of the night, waking people up from dreams and scaring dogs into hiding in corners and shivering. After dinner, I went out to walk my dog, the sunset was oblique, the clouds were shining, the breeze was gentle, and I was taken by Teddy to a clearing next to the playground. Looking up, I was taken aback that a large area of wasteland in front of me that had been covered with weeds had been mostly smoothed out by excavators, as if a new house would soon be built. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little sad, because the place where wild grasses and wildflowers used to grow, the birds that flew around, the butterflies, the many groundhogs hidden, and the place where wild deer often came and went suddenly disappeared. Closing her eyes and meditating, I suddenly remembered the last paragraph of my daughter's previous article "Catching Butterflies", and what she saw when she was a child thought of exactly the same scene as I do now.
The day before autumn, I planted a favorite Bauhinia Cercis Forest Pansy Redbud in my front yard, which seems to be the only redbud tree with large leaves and changing colors throughout the seasons. The next day in the autumn, I planted a purple-red magnolia on the side of the yard, which seemed to be a new variety from New Zealand, and the tree was not large enough to be used as an embellishment near the house. It rains from time to time these two days, and I still water some more according to the flower garden master's ding-dong after work, hoping that the two small trees will grow healthily and healthily, and I can see their style next new year.
When the dog walked back, as soon as he saw the newly planted tree, the previously sad mood suddenly warmed up again. Isn't this world changing from one world to the next?
