I love this. Not only do I love the art work, I love the FEELING that surrounds me when I look at it. Peace, quiet, serenity, calm. Happy thoughts, good coffee, gathering pretty flowers, taking time to be thankful for it all….

I am getting more used to “The Rainy Season” here in Chiang Mai.
“The rainy season in Chiang Mai generally lasts from May to October, with the heaviest rainfall typically occurring in August and September. While it is called the “rainy season,” the weather is not constantly wet; rather, it consists of short, heavy bursts of rain, often in the afternoon or evening.”
This rainy season has meant, many times, that if it doesn’t rain on us when we go out, it rains on us when we come back. I’m used to always carrying my umbrella and rain suit to be as prepared as possible.
THIS particular rainy season has meant the challenge of staying at the ready in my condo with bucket and towels to sop up water coming inside my leaking windows when the rain storm is very hard. This has happened only twice badly since I’ve been here, but the season has two more months to go before I can breathe a sigh of relief.
My son contacted the handyman who said that LOTS of work other than painting will happen soon, like resealing leaky windows! We’re are looking into the possibility of being able to add some type of canopies above our windows to be installed along with the resealing. This combination would make the NEXT rainy season a lot easier. 😁
You might question my sanity, in that I check the weather app on my phone sometimes more than once a day in order to find out what to expect. Like the U.S., the weather forecasts sometimes seem a suggestion or wish, rather than something on which you can rely. For example, the ‘heavy rain all day’ forecast here for today (causing me to hang my laundry INSIDE) was correct part of the morning, but the sun is shining brightly now, with no sign that will change any time soon…

That is a lovely picture and I am thrilled you will get more than just the sealant put on the windows.
The canopy idea sounds great!

Well, that might not happen after all. The outside of the building needs to be uniform. Unless everyone who owns condos here wants the canopies, only the sealant will be done. Fingers are crossed.

I’m glad you liked the post, Raj. The majority of the owners of the condos in the building would have to approve the canopies, since the exterior of the building needs to look the same, but fingers are crossed that they will approve something significant to address the leaky windows that have to be resealed from the outside.
