🌊大森林小木屋 玉洁冰清~~
大森林小木屋
说是大森林里的小木屋little house in the big woods ,其实这些木屋一点儿都不小。爷爷奶奶为长周末租的这一座Tahoe湖度假屋上下三层,六个卧室,男孩儿们分别在两个厅里,二十口人都住下, 是大家迟到的圣诞礼物。可惜今年家庭好友帕西拉没有来,她早已成为这个大家庭的一员,两千米的高山她有些不适,所以十九口人。还有一个太阳房,冬天还是称之为雪景房吧。看得出房子的主人也是大家庭,很多孩子孙子辈儿的人家,全家合影站了好几排。车库里大大小小的雪橇,冰鞋,滑雪靴。。。这样的生活是一份难得的奢侈。按雪儿堂哥的话说,“雪,你的生日我没有什么可送的,有表兄妹在白雪皑皑大森林小木屋一起为你庆祝,汝复何求?”what else can you ask for?
爷爷奶奶也真的不容易,爷爷和姥爷同岁,奶奶和姥姥同岁,姥姥十几年前就从中国退休了,奶奶现在还坚守着岗位,乐此不疲。爷爷倒是退休了,兴高采烈和他的艺术朋友们一起交流,作画,比上班还忙。他们最大的乐趣就是看着孙子孙女一起玩,一起乐。姥姥呢? 心被东方西方的孙子孙女们牵着扯着,爱代代相传。也许是看到孩子们长得太快吧,奶奶催着他们赶紧跟爷爷玩一玩雪。Snow won't be here forever...
爷爷已经开始筹备今年的圣诞节,让我给每个孩子拍照,不要正经八百儿的,要疯玩疯闹的样子,他画个孩子们玩雪撬的画儿,准备来个多媒体艺术,要把孩子们头像镶入,做成圣诞卡。
奶奶送雪儿一枚她生日宝石的戒指,跟她耳语几句,雪儿眼圈红了。。。一辈子的念想儿,听起来多么遥远,少年不识愁滋味。奶奶和爷爷初相识,是比雪儿还小的年龄。
这周回到家,我把孩子们照片和梦幻般的蓝湖,静谧的港湾,玉洁冰清的冰雪世界照片拿给派特舅妈看。老人家生病了,她还笑眯眯问每个大人孩子的情况,每个人都在她心里,她的生命愈发绽放光芒。
久违了,冰凌花~~~想起小时候,早上醒来,窗上一层冰凌花,像大树,像森林。。。这些是汽车窗上的,小小的,似花还似非花,似花还似飞花。
阳台上留着前面住户堆的雪人
大自然真的鬼斧神工,屋檐上的雪多象卡片小花边蕾丝的设计~~~
我们住的木屋窗外的冰挂有一米多
钻进冰帘子看看,外面的世界很奇妙
雪地上的脚印,左边一排来自熊么?这会儿熊可能冬眠了。。。 右面还有细小一些的动物蹄子印儿。。。
对面人家的木屋
Tahoe湖半山腰北极星northstar滑冰场,带上从高中起就陪伴我的冰鞋,来驰骋一番~~~
Tahoe湖边的滑雪场,飞向蓝湖
乘上彩虹的风帆~~~洁白的大地上,留下脚印一串串
Truckee River是Tahoe冰雪溶化汇成的河,这是美国最冷的城市之一,十年间,她有160多天全国最低纪录。
远处高山上白色的雪道是南太浩湖south lake Tahoe heavenly雪场,属于内华达州。
洁白的大地
看,小亭子前面的高尔夫电瓶车已经被大雪覆盖了。
半山腰上的火车轨道是以前中国和爱尔兰移民修建的。
玉洁冰清

I hope you Dance
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance~~I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'
Don't let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance~~I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance~~I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone?)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance~~(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance~~I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder, where those years have gone?)
如歌中所唱,愿你跳舞,生命之舞,永不失求索的心,饥渴慕义的心。
~周末愉快~
