Our Bauhinia Kockiana And Orchid Are Blooming

I was discharged from the hospital on Friday morning after I have finished the chemo treatment. Now I am resting at home before the next chemo which is scheduled on the 21st June, 2023. A day before that, I will need to get a pre-chemo blood test done at the hospital. So far so good, I am doing fine with good appetite and sleeping well.

Sunrise on the 7:35am.
These days the weather is hot and dry. Even if it rains, it is usually a short shower. Sometimes, we hear thunder rumbling but there is no rain.
With some fertilizer and regular watering in this hot weather, our bauhinia kockiana is doing very well and blooming away happily.
This orchid was neglected but surprisingly, one morning it bloomed! Hubby has been rather busy trying to clear and keep the garden tidy but there are some plants he missed watering and yet these hardy plants survived.
The above dog is a stray but well fed by the residents here.
The above mural of a man at the lotus pond and a plastic bag of drink hanging on the wall was shot at a school in Tanjung Tualang.


The Spirit and the bride say,
'Come.' Let each one who hears them say the same,
'Come." Let the thirsty one come - anyone who wants to;
let him come and drink the Water of Life without charge.
(Revelation 22:17, The Living Bible-TLB)

    I presume "Easily Feeling Tired" is one of the side effects after your 4th chemo treatment.
    Truly glad to learn that you are improving all along now -๐Ÿ’•‿๐Ÿ’•- ✨
    Wish your upcoming treatment, to be exact, on 21st June, 2023 will be doing as fine so far ๐Ÿ™ ☑️ ❗️

    Those are beautiful flowers surrounding your home.

    I like the man at the pond, but don't quite understand the drink bag. Thanks for sharing this mural, though.

    That mural is quite pretty and of course I love your orchid. My orchids never seem to last, I think I over-water them :( Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Nancy.

  29. Good to know you are doing alright and resting at home.

    My garden also been neglected lately, I am busy with my new venture. Now the weed is growing taller, but most of my plants are surviving. I mostly grow study plants that need less care. Hehe.

  30. I am glad you are getting more energy and able to eat more. Lovely flowers you have. We had some heat and no rain a month ago that made my pansies die. I am disappointed as they are so pretty. I did a short class of yoga this evening as I have heard from a friend that it has helped her as well. I feel a bit better and relieved do to being calm and breathing. Blessings and prayers, Becky
