I have alot of catching up to do. This is not Bali. This is Chiang Mai. It's the view from our new favorite place to stay in town. When this picture was taken the air was still pretty smokey. Chiang Mai has three seasons, hot, wet, and smokey but cool. The rains have started and the air has cleared up. The Frangiapani and Jasmine are in bloom.
Lately I have been enjoying the slow pace of life here. We have been distracted by a spider who moved in on our porch. Daniel took to catching bugs and feeding her in the evening by placing them in her web. It became a night time ritual with the flashlight. We anxiously awaited for her to lay her eggs. She was a very scary looking spider with a gigantic abdomen and black and white striped legs with bright orange on her underside. She became about one third her size after she layed her eggs. I really came to love this spider and now she has gone away and left behind her sweetie and her eggs.
The highlights of my week are the nights I go to yoga and most nights I am in bed asleep by ten. In the morning there is a dragonfly who sits on the same branch outside our bedroom window every day. The cicadas are back with their deafening cry and the fountain in front of school has a regular chorus of frogs at night. Our trip to Bali seems so distant.
