This is the Austrilian orchid that we just got Dendroloium Kingianum!

It's beautiful. Did you named it Bucket?

Hi Dugh! Sawasdee Khrup 🙏 How are you and Mum doing?  Hope your morning is good.

Sawasdee Khrup Terry. I apologize for not responding sooner. Mum is well, thanks. Since the migraine seemed somewhat in abeyance the last two days I have been mulching and planting mum's flowerbeds. The weather has been lovely, bright skies, mid-70's/~23° with comfortable humidity. Alas, I may have overdone things. Despite sunscreen my skin has taken on a rosy glow. More troubling is a migraine that began building late afternoon. Fingers crossed.

Hey, Dugh and Mum.  Glad to hear you're feeling (relatively) better. Max has been helping me plot the vegetable garden for this season.

Here is the Thai Embassy explanation of Songkran, the official Thai New Years:

   Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year festival since the former time. It is a celebration that embraces goodwill, love, compassion. and thankfulness, using water as the means of expression.

     The word Songkran derives from Sanskrit meaning to move or step forward. The first day of Songkran takes place when the sun moves from Pisces into Aries, which marks the New Year's Day according to the Brahmin solar system.

     The festival of Songkran falls on the 13^th, 14^th, and 15^th of April every year. Thefirst day is known as Maha Songkran or thegrand Songkran. The Thai government has declared Songkran festival as extended public holidays to enable the people to return to their hometown for family reunions,
merit-making and reuniting with others in their community.

     The 13^th of April is also declared the Day of the Senior or Elderly by the government. The occasion marks the appreciation for the senior population for their years of contribution to the family and country.

Happy Songkran to you and Aod, Terry.

Hi Page. What will you plant? 

Beets, leeks, and carrots, to start. Strawberries, basil, and maybe some mint, I think.

Hello Everyone! Happy Songkran! 🙏

 

[Albert1434]

Aloha Bucket

[Bucket1]

Hello young Albert

Nice orchid  

[Albert1434]

Yes it is in fact

[Albert1434]

So what have you been up to Bucket

Edited April 13, 2022 by Albert1434

[Bucket1]

Boring housework and clipping the branches of wayward bushes 

It is not as much fun as actually doing something exciting…

 

[Albert1434]

But it is nice to have things under control

[Bucket1]

It was surprisingly straight forward. It was really only a couple of branches that needed removing. It was one of those procrastinating jobs - seemed more work that it was 

It is also the limit of my abilities. Anymore work will need professionals.

[Bucket1]

Now I have more serious things to worry about - what’s for lunch?

[Albert1434]

I like the sound of that
