Fall Is Here!

Fall has at last arrived! The October weather here is lovely....cold, but rather nice. Of course, the rain has returned which is great....

秋天終於來了！十月的天氣真好，雖然冷，卻不會太冷。 當然，雨也回來了，真是讓人高興！

Endive....pt. 2 (sort of)

Recently, under suggestion, we ate endive cooked with bacon. It was rather popular amongst us and most of us enjoyed it. (There was a person who didn't like bacon or endive, together or separate, but never mind them.)

我們前幾天又吃了endive，可是， 我們是把他和培根一起煮的。我們大部分都覺得很好吃。只有一個人不喜歡因為他不喜歡吃培根或endive.

Light for the chickens!

Chickens need 15 hours of daylight. They need this amount of daylight because if they don't, they don't lay eggs. Since winter is approaching, we put a light bulb in their coop. We also have a timer that turns off the light because we don't have to do it ourselves after a certain amount of hours....

雞需要十五個小時的陽光， 因為 如果他們沒有他們就不會生蛋。因為冬天快來了， 我們為他們裝了一個燈。這樣他們連冬天時也可以生蛋。

Endive....

The plant with the light green, layered leaves and frilly edges is endive....We ate it recently, flavoring it with garlic and salt. Though the added flavoring did not mask the bitter taste that came naturally with the endive. I personally did not enjoy the taste of endive though....

這種菜叫做endive.我們前幾天已經把他吃了。我們煮的時候，我們用大蒜和鹽巴調味，可是菜還是苦苦的。我不太喜歡吃。

Rain and Chickens Do Not Mix.....

As most know, it rains a lot in Portland, OR. Due to that, we had to put tarp on the coop....The chickens highly dislike rain, thus the tarp.


波特蘭常常下雨而且,雞並不喜歡雨。因為這樣，我們把一塊塑料布蓋在雞窩上面。

Our Chickens' First Egg!

Today (or perhaps it was yesterday) one of our chickens laid an egg (see picture 2)! It has us all excited because pretty soon, we'll have more...Anyway, the egg was small and was brown and speckled with white flecks. The other photos are just updates of our chickens' growth.

今天我們的雞生了一顆蛋（請看第二張照片） ....我們都很興奮因為很快就會有更多蛋！那顆蛋小小的，殼是咖啡色的上面還有一點一點白白的。剩下的照片是我們雞現在的長像。

BIGGEST Asian Pear we've grown ever!!!!

To start this out, you should know that we have three Asian pear trees...Anyway, the pear on the left (our left), is the one the title refers to....The one on the right (our right) is the average size of our Asian pears. All of which are quite delicious.

我們家種了三顆水梨樹。我弟弟左手拿得水梨是我們家種出目前為止最大的一顆水梨，比較小的水梨是大部分水梨的大小。。。可是，不管水梨有多大，都很好吃。
