Baby guppies came into the world

Yesterday, after coming back at around 23:30, I found there's a baby guppy in the tank. What a nice surprise! Before I went to bed at 1:00, around 25 babies came into the world one after another! It's my first time to watch a guppy's birth. It's such a wonderful experience! The other female guppy is pregnant. Let's look forward to the babies' coming!

Spring Farm

A cool cloudy day, we drove to Spring Farm, 龜山. It's amazing there were lots of visitors. We had fantastic lunch at the restaurant with a fine view of the garden from the big windows. Meals tasted delicious and not cost much, $280~380. After lunch, we walked around in the farm. An entrance ticket is $50. Free if you order a meal. I couldn't believe there's a gorgeous farm by the road near Taipei! I loved the colorful flowers and green grass! There were some animals, a coffee shop, a barbecue area, a souvenir shop on the small hill. Walking in the beautiful farm is really relaxing. Spring Farm is worth a visit!
