This was posted a bit late, but it IS the official beginning of fall, and I love it so much I wanted to share it.

Brian and I were on our way home from the gym yesterday and saw what looked like a hummingbird drinking nectar from a whole row of long red blossomed flowers. We stopped and admired him for a minute or two. I had read before that Thailand doesn’t have hummingbirds, as such, but have Sunbirds and a moth that imitates the hovering of a hummingbird.

Speaking of the gym, we saw Ugly American jogging ahead of us as we walked. I thought, ‘Oh, no.’ but he didn’t come into the gym today. Later Brian told me he had his phone out and that he seemed to be watching a movie where a lady was screaming. (One reason to be happy I don’t wear my hearing aids to the gym!) I can’t believe the stupidity of a guy running in public down a street with the sounds of someone screaming coming from him.

I have a normal, wonderful day today. Rain chances are low today. The sun is shining brightly now and it is already feeling quite warm. I’m enjoying my J.D. Robb, “Fury in Death” book, but I’m limiting myself to one chapter a day in order to get other things done. 📖
As I told you, the puzzle is coming along extremely slowly, but I AM making a bit of progress. Meanwhile, this colorful guy is brightening up one side of my living area with his gorgeous body.

I’m looking forward to going to the cafe this afternoon. I have one sketch in process, and a couple I would like to get started. I’m having such a good time with this!

I love the chameleon!! It’s really coming along nicely, Linda!
I hear you about Ugly American, but one day, I really hope you will talk with him and ask him why he’s always so rude, unpleasant, loud, etc. is he in pain? Or an attention seeker?
I say this after my daughter (while she’s driving), will yell at people who don’t drive the way she wants them to drive. She can’t stop herself though she definitely knows, we can never change anyone else. ❤️🙏💙
I’ll see how it goes. Brian thinks we should steer clear of him. For now, if he says, “Good morning”, I’ll respond.
That chameleon is really popping.
The American guy needs to detach himself from his phone when he exercises. He would feel the benefits for detaching himself and giving time just for himself than anything else.
I just love the chameleon. Even unfinished, he brightens the room. The American guy is addicted to his phone, I think. I’m beginning to feel a bit sorry for him.
