我的鄰居是石虎 Leopard cat is my neighbor!

Leopard cat is my neighbor. He is so shy that we seldom see him wondering in our neighborhood. From time to time, his slender figure moves quietly with elegance in woods outside our village. Some people call him "cat", a name that he doesn't accept. "Have you ever seen a cat that has white ears and eye shadow?", he mutters. 
最近認識了一個新鄰居。害羞的牠總是獨來獨往,瘦長的身體穿梭在村莊外圍的樹林裡。有時,我們會叫錯名字,把牠誤認為她的親戚---總是愛在沙發上打盹的家貓。牠聽了也只是從鼻孔輕輕地哼一聲。「看看我我這充滿神祕感的白眼影、白絨絨的耳背、貴氣的錢幣斑紋、修長的體態。那些家貓、野貓有嗎???

       雖然到現在還沒有跟牠打過照面,還是很驕傲能夠與這般優雅的獨行者為鄰。

就是要往上爬climbing up to trees

Learning from Permaculture, I want to plant loofahs and beans next to Taiwan acacia and hope to harvest on trees.
自從知道鍾理和和妻子曾經在樹旁種過菜瓜,我就很想試試爬樹摘絲瓜。
 不過這棵相思樹也未免太高了吧。絲瓜藤一股腦的往上爬,就是不開花結果。
 目前為止,只有低處冒出絲瓜。
還是要指望豆子呢?豆藤已經爬上了相思樹,而且這棵樹還算是幼稚園中班,不算高。
