New haircut this morning – gone from ‘dandelion-gone-to-seed’ to ‘maybe-somebody-had-a-plan….’

We are now getting into my first ‘hot and hazy season’ here in Chiang Mai. It’s warming up, and the sun is getting more and more intense, but the big difference is that the farmers in this country and the countries around us (primarily Laos and Myanmar) are all burning the crop residue from their fields, getting ready for the next planting, so the air really gets full of smoke.
I’ve been having my windows open every day, so apparently I am not one of the super sensitive people, but I will keep an eye on things. I have two good air purifiers in my place, so I should be in good shape. I can still open my windows early in the morning and then close up and turn on the air purifiers for the rest of the day.
Apparently this is a real time air index chart, so I’ve bookmarked the site and saved it on my computer so I can stay on top of things.

Here is the sweet orchid my adoptive family gave me when I first moved in almost a year ago. From dropping all of its bloom and only having two leaves, It now has 4 big leaves and 4 blooms on it, with two buds left that might open. I’m thrilled that it has ‘come to life again.’

My current puzzle remains a challenge. The main part of the puzzle is a gorgeous big turtle in the center. He will be the last to come together, though. I can only find some pieces that I know are pieces of him, but they don’t fit together. This may end up being a character-building exercise…
But I LOVE the colors!

Senior Exercises with Meredith
Today is exercises with water bottles for my arms and back. I will stop working at the computer now and do those and then come back and write another post.
I hope you’re having a great day or evening!
