My Painting-- luffa And Chicks 绿荫鸡戏

Luffa is a common vegetable for us. When summer arrives, luffa fruits are ripe. The flowers of luffa not only are beautiful but also can be edible. Although I haven't planted any vegetables, my neighbor's yard are full of various flowers and vegetables during the summer and autumn, and I can often see that those vegetables are fresh and meaty and tender, melon and fruits are sweet.

Sometimes her luffa grows so well that they climb up my window and I can easily pick it. My neighbor asked me to pick and eat it, but I prefer to see them hanging under the stem. A cool breeze came in through my window, I can smell the pleasant smell, and it can remind me of my childhood, of that days when my family and I sit around luffa, enjoying a comfortable and cool life.

红墙爬来绿丝瓜，
顶花垂挂藤枝丫。
一只瓢虫来做客，
小鸡见了叽喳喳。

丝瓜是我们常见的蔬菜。小时候每到夏天，竹竿架下的丝瓜就开始成熟了。而丝瓜开的黄花不仅漂亮，还可以食用哦。现在的我虽然不种菜，但是每次外出都路过楼下阿姨的小院子，看到里面被搭理的井井有条。每到夏秋时节，地里的蔬菜肥嫩新鲜，瓜果香甜可口。尤其种的丝瓜长势惊人，会顺着墙直接爬到我家卧室的窗前，伸手可得。阿姨看到我，总让我直接摘了吃。我没有摘，更喜欢看它静静的挂在枝藤上。一阵清风吹来，顶着黄花，随风摇摆，散发清香。这清香似乎能把我带回到多年前的夏日傍晚，一家人围坐在丝瓜架旁，享受着舒适和阴凉。
