这个周末是美国LABORDAY长周末。LABORDAY是每年九月的第一个星期一。这一天是美国的法定假期,设立此节是对广大劳动者的歌颂,也是对美国历史上发起的劳动者运动予以纪念。而LABORDAY除了政治色彩外,还是有其民俗意义。就像MEMORIALDAY代表着夏的到来,LABORDAY这一天代表着夏的结束。

7/22(周三)
5:30醒来,6:30在厨房煮早餐,打开门前去寻找雨的痕迹。地是干的,车身是干的,但我怎么就觉得雨应该是来过的呢?没错,雨确实来过,在黑铁艺扶手上和绣球叶上留下了痕迹。昨晚8:30天空的蓝紫色云团,让我知道雨会在夜色中来临,我的推测没错。

”那孩子学习怎么办?“
”她本来就不上班,我儿子过去一年多也一直在家办公。他们就自己教孩子喽。我给三个孩子拍照,最小的要跑过来拉我的手,被他妈妈抓住了脚踝。享利以前不是这样的,是受JANE的影响才变的。我的另一个儿了威廉不一样,他比较信生死由命,和我一样,过得轻松。“
那次我对她:“简,你这样对孩子不好。”

我有好一阵子没看电视了,信息的来源都是网络和广播。周三风和日丽,广播里说这样的好天还会持续两三天,直到周日雨水再度来临,雨水会一直持续到周一。后来才知道,所说的雨水实则是飓风带来的强降雨,风雨交加,强破力会相当的严重;又听说,汲取两个月前热带风暴的教训,这次电力公司EVERSOURCE提前布署,为后面可能发生的大面积停电作好充份的准备;州长也说[
