Sawadee Khrap
Had our first rain today – short, but loud – lot of thunder, some hail, knocked out power several times – some rain – yet it did start to clear the air.
Here is a picture of the trees in the small farm area next door. Pollen or seedlings or something cotton like are bursting from the flowers on the trees – there are 4 of these trees next door, 2 small, 2 large and it looked like it was snowing when the wind blew – It’s marvelous how Nature operates – just before the rain, heavy winds disperse the seeds and scatter them for planting – then the rain to water them – what a site – These are the same trees that turn a brilliant red and yellow in the winter. Kapok trees – Thai’s make a pillow from these cotton like seedlings.
Tomorrow we will head for a short trip to Chiang Rai – coming back Sunday – with Jerry and Art to get away. The boys, Art & Tasanai will probably hit the Disco (one of largest in Thailand) and Jerry & I will enjoy the local clubs. Would like to go to Tak, but they (Myanmar & Thailand) are having border skirmishes – not a good place right now – but it does have the largest waterfall in Thailand – “Ti Lo Su” ?????? – said to be #6 most beautiful in the world – maybe next time.
