I limit my outdoor activities because the sun is quite strong and the temperature has risen to around 36 degrees. I want to enjoy the garden, but I end up spending time under the shade of the balcony enjoying the plants and flowers. The aquatic plants in the container pond on the balcony help to cool the house down from the sun's heat. The Mexican Sword Plant is now developing flowering buds and will soon produce a flower. Greenery from plants is always the best way to…

The weather has transitioned from winter to summer, and today is a rainy day. It's wonderful to have rain to cool down the hot sunny day. After the rain stopped, I got the chance to get some fresh air and go for a quick walk around my mom's garden. The pink hibiscus amazes me with its large size and tall stature as a tree rather than a shrub. I also have this type of pink hibiscus in my garden. My mom and I have the idea of growing hibiscus into a free-form tall tree rather…

I took my parents to the Covid-19 booster shot medical centre this morning. And I am so fortunate that my preferred "mRNA" vaccination is available, and I am obligated to have it for my first shot of Covid-19 Vaccination. I experienced some side effects, but they were minor, consisting of a mild fever and muscle pain. The weather isn't too hot today, but I feel like I need some fresh air after my afternoon nap to enjoy some flowers in my mom's garden. This tiny white flower…

After receiving my first dose of Covid-19 vaccination yesterday, I was relieved of the mild fever and muscle pain. Rain has been falling since last night. The weather has been extremely cold and chilly all day. The rain stopped before sunrise, so I took the opportunity to go for a walk in my mom's garden for some fresh air. Today's walk will take me to this red Hibiscus Hybrid. Hibiscus Hybrid is the name given to almost all modern Hibiscus. Crossing different species or…

It's not raining and it's cloudy today, but I can finally enjoy the sun before it sets. I went for a walk around my parents' house's fence wall. Some of them consist of a concrete wall that is covered with creeping vine plants and flowers. This area of their home is surrounded by a green hedge that is covered with Fukian Tea. Fukian Tea is an evergreen shrub popular for indoor or tropical bonsai. But it was its tiny white flower that fascinated me. I wish you all a wonderful…

This Sunday's weather is cloudy with a few rays of sunshine. I went to my mother's nursery to enjoy the plants and flowers. My mom's small Silver Cockscomb, which she planted in a plastic container pot, has begun to bloom. Silver Cockscomb has a bushy growth habit and flower spikes that bloom early. The plume-like inflorescences are particularly appealing, with purplish-pink inflorescences fading to pale pink, creating an interesting two-tone effect. How was your Sunday?

It had been a difficult day for me since my mom woke me up early in the morning of yesterday to inform me that my aunt has died. I last saw my aunt about a week ago, when we were transferring my deceased brother's ashes and bone to our family Charnel house. She was not feeling well and was admitted to the hospital two days ago. My parents and I were planned to pay her a visit at the hospital yesterday, but we received bad news before we could do so. I was devastated by my…

While chrysanthemums are being planted on the ground and in the field, I enjoy the colorful flowers. But seeing this chrysanthemum flower arrangement on top of my aunt's coffin makes me so sad. Chrysanthemums, I understand, are commonly used as funeral flowers because they represent death in many countries, including Thailand. Sorry for not responding to you all as frequently since Tuesday. I am extremely exhausted and tired from my aunt's funeral ceremony, which we have…

Since my aunt's cremation day last Saturday, I haven't been in the mood to do anything, even status post or interact with anyone. The local authority contacted me yesterday to schedule an ATK Covid-19 test for my parents and me. It's fantastic that we all got negative test results. Because we have a low risk profile, the local authority has asked us to self-quarantine or home isolation for another 7 days. On the 6th of February, one of my father's friends who came to join…

Today is Magha Puja Day, which is one of the most important Buddhist celebrations. As a result, today is a public holiday in Thailand. My parents usually go to the temple for religious ceremonies, but they skipped this year due to their self-quarantine. I don't go for a walk because it has been raining since midnight and continues to do so. I only spend time in my sleeping quarter, where I can enjoy the flowers and trees on the balcony and in the garden for this Wednesday.…

With rain falling all day, the weather is perfect for our self quarantine as instructed by local authority. Even though there is no rain, the weather is gloomy with no sunshine. The plants, trees, and flowers around my parents' house are doing well because of the rain. My mom planted this tiny yellow flower of the Singapore Daisy as a ground cover in a bare spot. The Singapore Daisy, due to its invasive nature, has now covered the vacant space with its green leaves and…

There is no rain today, but the sky is dark and gloomy. Fortunately, there is an hour of sunlight in the middle of the afternoon, so I don't miss out on the opportunity to go out and enjoy my mom's garden. The white flower of the Mexican Sword Plant has captured my attention today. My mom planted this aquatic plant in a pot and keeps the small fish inside to eat mosquito larvae. This Mexican Sword Plant is thriving, with huge runner stalks festooned with white flowers. I…

The sun has been shining brightly since early this morning, but the rain has continued to fall. Nothing exciting planned for my Saturday; I'll just read some books and walk around the balcony, enjoying the aquatic plants. My mom planted a variety of aquatic plants around the balcony to absorb the sun's intense heat. This purple Water Lily has been planted on the balcony near the main living area. I love the bright yellow in the center of the purple flower. How's the weather…

The strong sun and sunshine dominated the sky until the afternoon, when it was replaced by heavy rain. I believe the weather is erratic and unpredictable. This morning, I assisted my dad in trimming trees and shrubs. The Chaya, also known as Tree Spinach, has been trimmed to keep it as a shrub and prevent it from becoming too tall. My mom planted this Chaya so that she could use the young shoot leaves and stems for cooking. It tastes similar to Chinese Kale, which I enjoy in…

There has been no rain or sunshine today. The weather is gloomy and cold. My parents and I do nothing but relax on this lazy Monday. We are scheduled to have an ATK Covid-19 test tomorrow, and if everything goes as planned, we will be able to end our self-quarantine by then. I spent the majority of my time in my living quarters and called my assistant to see how things were going at my house and property. The Bauhinia tree in front of my living quarters is blooming with…

Today's weather is sunny and windy, but there will be no rain. I began my morning by going for a walk to enjoy the weather and my mom's garden before preparing for the ATK Covid-19 Test in the late morning. I am amazed that the Dendrobium Lindleyi Orchid that my mom planted by wrapping its root in the palm tree has begun to bloom. This orchid is native to South East Asia and is a wild orchid. Dendrobium Lindleyi Orchid has inflorescences that are about 10–30 cm long and have…

My parents and I planned to visit our family Charnel house in the nearby village where we kept the ashes and bones of our ancestors and my deceased younger brother after being released from self-quarantine with a negative test result yesterday. However, we must postpone our plans because the local authorities have ordered that village to be closed for 7 days due to the increasing number of Covid-19 cases. It appears to me that we will never be able to end the pandemic and…

#DontSpam #DontCopy #OriginalContent #Qualitycounts #Noisecash It's disgusting that this user @ImranMohsin056 copied my post and spun the words to make it his own. He uploaded a photo from the internet but did not copy my photo because it was watermarked with my name. I have reported this user; please check to see if your content has been copied or not. His account is only two days old, but he's already pumping out posts like crazy. My original post can be found here:…

My black cat "Lek" is always a big boss to his younger brother "Ginger." Ginger is growing up and is about to turn a year old. Ginger enjoys running around, jumping, climbing trees, and play fighting with Lek. It's sometimes difficult to tell whether Lek and Ginger are playing or fighting. Ginger and Lek enjoy play fighting by jumping on each other, chasing each other, and even hissing. Their play fighting takes turns, with one at the bottom of the wrestling huddle and the…

For this Sunday, the weather is quite windy with a strong sun. I am so thankful that there are so many trees and plants around my parents' house to provide shade and greenery. It may be nothing special for these light bright green leaves of Golden Pathos that keep creeping. Their extra-large leaves provide excellent shade from the hot sun. How was your Sunday?
@IamAndy
The weather has returned to being extremely hot and sunny. I try to avoid the sun's heat by staying in the shade around the balcony. It's another boring Monday, but I'm glad I have the lovely white flower of the Mexican Sword Plant to brighten my day.
