Back in the land of smiles

After the cool rainy days of British Columbia it is nice to be back in the heat of Thailand.
As usual our first stop is to visit Bodge and Ya on their land outside of ChiangMai.
They hadn't arrived home yet when we arrived, so I had time to wander around with my camera.
Lots of hibiscus, canna lilies, cosmos and other flowers in bloom.

 
The rice is getting tall though it is still a month away from harvest. This red variety looks particularly striking in the field.





The roosters putting on a show for us, or maybe it was for the benefit of the nearby hens.


Lots of lettuce, chinese kale and morning glory ready to harvest.


The ubiquitous chillies are producing like crazy.



It looks like there is a papaya starting to ripen up there.


 
The pomelo are ripening on the deck.



The pomelo served. This one was particularly yummy.

 
A new treat for us was this yellow avocado they are growing. It had its own distinctive flavour that I liked a lot.

 
Then after all this snacking Ya made us a delicious lunch that included mushrooms straight from their mushroom house. I never did visit the mushroom house...next time I guess.
