Most of the time in my childhood was spent at grandma's home,For me, Earthen of grandmother's home is how familiar and intimate,Now think of it, time seems to be back many years ago, those scene who live in the Earthen.


There is a pond near the earthen,it have many fishes in the pond, and there have a large willow in pond shore, This tree has many years old, It has stout branches, There are a branch has withered, But this tree is still alive tenacious, Every spring bud bursting out young leaves, growth of vitality.

In front of Earthen have a lot of fruit trees, There have peach, grapefruit trees, citrus trees, vines etc, and include osmanthus tree. Nearest the earthen is a buttonwood tree,That was planted in my childhood. buttonwood tree is growing fast, now it has grown into a big tree, Like a giant green umbrella. There Reverse Umbrella is also a vegetable garden in grandma's home, there have many green vegetables, fruits and flowers was planted in Vegetable garden. The corner of the garden is also planted with a variety of flowers, include cactus, chrysanthemum, orchids, clivia etc. The air is filled with the flavor of fruit, flower and vegetables.


Earthen is made of cob brick to build,Each cob brick is very thick. The roof is covered with tiles of gray.


Earthen has two layers, it have a wide wooden staircase, In the first floor,there is an intermingled room, a kitchen, a restaurant, a housing; In the second floor, there is a large room with two windows. The window is facing the buttonwood tree. I live in the second layer of Earthen.


I like standing in front of large windows to enjoy the beauty of nearby Earthen, Often leaning on the window to see the sunrise and sunset, Watching the sun slowly rises from the east, Look at the bright moon and stars. Colorful scenery!


Whenever I think of it, Always mixed feelings into meditation among the occasion to recollect the thought of those soulful, unforgettable years, hearts intertwined with deep thoughts and nostalgia of the past years.
