Merry Christmas

凍柿子 Frozen Persimmons

Down here in Dallas
Folks can grow their own persimmons
These came from a nearby tree
Looks frosty but they are fresh
Though frozen persimmons ／凍柿子 are like nature's ice cream
Just pop in freezer and eat

bao bao baby day

Meeting young Earthlings sure can be fun
Visited newborn baby Emerson & 3 month old Khulan
like a mini trip around the world
from California to Philippines, Mongolia, Seattle...

Khulan kindly modeled for me,
sporting her new onesie
Hope she actually enjoyed,
and wasn't smiling just to be polite
