Normally on a Sunday like this I like to go for a motorcyle ride in the country and go lunch at an outdoor restaurant. Sit and enjoy the view while eating some good food and sipping a cold beer. But today I was feeling a bit lazy and decided just to stay at home and relax. After all I could still enjoy the day and the weather from my sanctuary and castle.

I was fortunate to find a nice house in a quiet neighborhood with a nice mango orchard in the back. Sitting out there is a gazebo or whatever you want to call it. This is my sanctuary. Often there it seems as though I could be out in a forest or jungle. This was the reason it was okay to stay at home today despite the great weather and the call of the wild.

What did I do with this lovely day? I did some reading. I listened to many of my cd’s that have been gathering dust lately. I did some writing and some work on my website. I also did a necessary evil of doing my laundry.

To the left is where I can sit and think, sit and meditate, sit and drink a beer or two, sit and read or entertain some friends. It’s perfect for me. I had envisioned such a place when I wanted to move and when I saw this house and garden I knew I had found a new home. It’s great to have a place that’s quiet and peaceful at your disposal when it’s needed.

It is covered so even if it begins raining it is still enjoyable to sit and feel wth wind and watch the rain. This sanctuary even comes with enclosed bathroom with shower, a covered area with a sink. Who could ask for anything more?

It is easy to enjoy a day at home when there is a garden sanctuary available and such beautiful weather. It is very inspiring for writing and getting new creative ideas. There are also 2 small cement ponds, one in the front and one in the back. Usually occupied by frogs and snakes. Today though I got a surprise, in the front pond I discovered a turtle in it. I have no idea how it got in and how it will get out. I was going to take a pic of the turtle but the battery died and it was getting to dark after I recharged the battery. I will try again tomorrow.

A great Sunday of relaxation in the life of an American Expat living here in Ubon Ratchathani.
