A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
喜樂的心乃是良藥;憂傷的靈使骨枯乾。
(箴言17:22)

夕陽無限好,日日有黃昏

夕陽無限好,日日有黃昏
「向晚意不適, 驅車登古原;夕陽無限好,只是近黃昏。」李商隱的這首詩千百年來不知引起多少人的共鳴,卻又不知撩起多少人的自憐自嘆。詩的意境好,只是太消極了。其實天天有夕陽,日日有黃昏!不是嗎?

偎红倚翠大師


古有李後主自稱〝偎红倚翠大師〞,今有吾友多米尼當之無愧!

彼李煜性驕侈、好聲色,對家國一無建樹。

我這位老大哥卻是秉性儉樸,待人以誠,為美化市容不遺餘力。

多米尼每天都花上不少時間在他所住屋苑的花圃留連...

偎红倚翠、拈花惹草。

他的目標:

四時開花,賞心悅目!

他的態度:

少種菜,多種花。

就是因為多米尼這種好市民,我們才贏得〝花園城市〞的美號。

Hi Robin,

I see you are getting me in big trouble.

I must admit I am always been interested in gardening, and promoting the love of flowers. I lose the concept of time when gardening. On many occasions, Mary had to get down to the flower beds to remind me I was late for dinner.

I did not know you had taken the photo and it is kind of you to take photo without showing my ugly face.

The reason of my take up gardening is that I find peace and tranquillity in designing my garden, the roses may hurt me once a while. For the most part, the beautiful flowers do not complain against me.

I gain satisfaction of faith in God, through him, I witness His mightiness on a daily basis, the wonderful flowers that will come. I have the faith to expect the flowers that I plant will bloom throughout the seasons. It is just like painting, God will never fail me to see His miracles - the over abundance of beautiful colors in all form and shape.

Lately, it is exciting to see the arrival of the purple wisteria. Some times, volunteers do suffer disappointments as a result of some one who cannot resist the temptation but to help themselves to some of the beauties.

Little that they know, I am just willing to share the plants, and the knowledge with them. As the summer approaches, my garden beds are full and have always some to spare.

Please come and we will discuss, including trips to the nurseries.

All the best, Do send the nice photos that u had recently taken from our garden.

Hi Lo yan Mau,

Thanks for your kind comments. I have been on the big bike fundrasing ever year since my arrival in BC 6 years ago. I have enjoyed all these trips, the smell of spring flowers through the beautiful Fisherman's wharf area. God willing, I wil be one on the road again next year. By the way, you have sparked my interest to sollicit funding through teacher Leung's blog. I will contact you next year. That is a promise. Do re me.

Hi Yiu Po,

Good news, and I am happy to hear from you. First I like to ask a few questions, do you play mahjong, (Vietnamese style), what about golf, table tennis, or tennis. By the way, would you care to volunteer some time for gardening. If the anwsers is negative to any of the above, none is for sale. If your answer is I am willing to learn, I will find one for you. Let me hear from you first, Sincerely, DO re mei.
