Glimpses of Rural Life in Kenya


I have no idea who these hens belong to. There's about a dozen of them that hang around my place. Nathan says, "They bring blessings. Even before you wake up at 6:00am, they're already in your compound praying for blessings for you!"




Martin helped me plant a bush. This is the typical way holes are dug (with a short-handled "jembe" or hoe). The bush - a mimosa picuna - was given to me by a nursery owner near my place in Nairobi. When its leaves are touched, they close up for about 5 minutes.

"...Praying for a blessing..." alright!

Deb,do you own a grill?

feral bird = "blessing" = BBQ.
