Hi,
Weather: Same as yesterday. The day included bug spray, a big dog, traffic, buildings and an interview.
The 'Zany Day' song only had two responses. Maybe these lyrics will jar your memory and bring your mind back:
"Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, and she's gone. __ __ __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __ __ __, Ahh..." Clue: Four Lads from Liverpool had everyone wondering who the woman in the title could be and if they had taken a certain hallucinogen.
Today was the day the 'Spray Man' came and he was right on time. It's mosquito season and, as we moved things for the spraying, we had proof that it's in full force. Clouds of the nasty little creatures flew out every time we shifted anything on the shady side of the house.
In town, I had to park in front of a driveway so Lisa could get some bread. This meant that I didn't get to visit with our friend Jonathan, the English Golden Retriever who 'runs the place' in the mornings. The owner told Lisa about how the hail had shredded an awning on the back of their shop. The hail stories keep on coming.
At the pet supply store the women who owns the place gives Lisa a present every time we go there. The last two visits it's been a big tin can like one might store cookies. They are promo gifts from dog food companies with cute doggie pictures on them. We give them away, but it's a sweet gesture.
This afternoon I drove out to New Life Foundation to talk to the residents. I got to see the progress on several building projects along the way and spotted some new ones. I'm hoping that some of the active farmers will hold out and continue to grow rice. It would be a shame if it all filled in with concrete. I don't really see this happening soon since rice is one of the biggest crops grown and exported by Thailand.
Lisa had a Skype interview with an art writer, who is also an accomplished artist in his own right. It's for American Express Magazine for Thailand. He really 'looked' at her work before the conversation and asked some interesting questions. It should come out in April. That was exciting.
Tomorrow we're having photographic portraits done by our friend Chalit at his Bliss Studio. He has a concept for each of us so this will be a new adventure for sure. All we know is that we're to wear black. Hmm, that shouldn't be too hard to do. The rest is in the hands of the artist.
I will leave you with more images from the Flower Show. The first is the pre-schoolers and the second is one of the gardens.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
