越來越多離譜的人

自從經濟開始轉差,人的不耐煩和劣根性好像全部被釋放出來一樣,而且越來越嚴重.但由上年開始,開車上街必定會遇上危險駕駛的司機,完全不理會交通規則,好像他/她擁有整條道路似的.老公和我一向都小心駕駛,但現在就算在stop sign前都要看多兩次才敢開車,因為太多人當路牌透明,不要說停下來三秒,很多人甚至不會慢駛,看也不看就以常速駛過去.即使是紅燈,很多人會不斷的溜前,有時溜到交叉路的右線,簡直離譜.好想對他們說,你不斷溜前,燈也不會為你轉快兩秒,最後還不是在下一紅燈見到你….還有數之不盡的例子,令我們一邊開車一邊氣憤,每次開車都令人很生氣.
老公一向都好好脾氣,說話都不會大聲,要令他發火其實好難.但當我或者囡囡有危險,或者有人對我們不禮貌,他絕對不會容忍,會挺身保護我們.試過去行街,店裏的一個男人本來站在門口附近,但當我還差一步就開門進去時,他竟然一手大力的將門向我的方向推開.店裏的其他客人見到都目定口呆(我還大著肚子),老公非常生氣,手快的立即捉著我退了兩步,幸好沒有被撞到.然後他立即鬧個男人有冇搞錯,但他已經逃之夭夭了.
另一次在超市外的停車場,我們找位泊車時,見到一個亞洲男子遊魂似的走著,我著老公小心駛過他身邊,誰知他會做甚麼.泊好車,我們三人要行經一些車位才能進入超市,這時候見到那個亞洲男子準備倒車,我立即拉停老公等他開走才再前進,因為我估他仍然遊魂中.好彩我拉著他,因為那個男人只望右邊,完全沒有望左邊就開始倒車,如果走前兩步我們就會給撞到.老公氣憤得很,尤其囡囡和我們在一起,一家三口差點給他撞死.他走到男子的窗邊向著他罵:你怎樣開車,只望著一邊就倒車,差點撞死人了.那男子被鬧仍然在遊魂,呆呆的駕車離開.希望途中他不會撞到其他人就好了.
今天去買東西,當我在抱囡囡出車時,我見到一對夫婦向著這邊走過來,女人還給我做了個嘴臉,我己經知道一定是他們的車泊在旁邊.果然不出所料,這時老公已經推來一架購物車,我們盡量快手快腳放囡囡坐好,不想阻礙他們.這個時候他們的女兒走上車,和她媽媽一樣,竟然也給我做了個嘴臉(我究竟做了些甚麼??).不用兩秒,當我們三人還在他們車不足一尺的距離,他們竟然開車.老公真的氣得很,放大聲氣的的問他們:唔係呀嘛,真係三秒都等唔到?我企係呢度你都開車,有冇搞錯呀,正衰人.然後老公入到舖頭話我知,見到個女人睥我,我就話佢知我見到,連個女都有.老公即時話乜野父母教出d乜野仔女.
我只係不敢相信,他們都有個十歲唔夠的女,竟然可以見到有個bb係佢架車隔離唔夠一尺,都唔等果兩三秒就照開車,真係有冇咁趕呀.我相信如果調轉,係我地係佢一家咁近的時候開車,佢地會拍車打人都似.老公話佢地係墨西哥人,仲要唔係住左係呢度好耐,分分鐘係非法移民,所以先無開聲還擊,或者更甚還手(因為墨西哥人都好粗魯野蠻).其實每次老公氣憤得開聲罵人,我都好驚.始終呢度你唔知邊d人有槍在身,或者唔知對方會唔會癲起上來打人,起碼我知道可以激到老公開聲,他們真係好過分(相信都唔會點同你講道理).

My garden is growing

The roses was planted 6 weeks ago and they started to bloom around a week ago. The light pink one closest to the front door bloomed first. Now the yellow knockout roses in the bay and the purple roses on the side of the garage is blooming. The darker pink roses should bloom in these few days, the latest one as we thought it would be is the red one. 

Eric ended up brought me raspberry and blackberry bushes instead of the citrus tree which cannot be shipped to Texas. Now 4 of them are flowering and maybe we will have berries to eat soon.

The vegetable garden we put in the backyard is almost finished. We transplanted the tomato plants and green bell pepper. Lettuce and spinach seeds are sown in the little garden bed, green onion and parsley seeds are in little pots. So far only the lettuce and green onion seeds germinated. 7 kinds of herbs are in two rectangle pots and growing healthy. We already used some chives in fried rice one day. 

We still have one big planting bed to put in the yard. I guess by this weekend, we can put it out there and hopefully the seeds I started these two days will be big enough to transplant. The cantaloupe and lettuce seeds started in two days, some green onion seeds started today (3 days) but other don't have any sign yet.
