SURPRISE!!! GRAMA'S BACK

I fuss and fussed around with this blog until I could get the german words off. I don't know how they got there. Well, things are great in Kenya. we got through the rainy season and it was great. When it rains here it doesn't just sprinkle for a few moments. it comes down in sheets. and that would be every day. I love the rain. We harvested one crop of corn and tomatoes and eggplant and carrots and beets and spinach. Far more than we could eat so we sold the beets and gave most of harvest to our workers. They tasted sweet corn for the first time and loved it so we planted 2x the seeds and it is almost ready to harvest again. We tried watermelon but it needed some manure. So we got dump trucks full and are spreading it so the harvest should be better than ever. We have these wonderful cooks who cook tons of fresh food. We eat, they eat, the guards eat and it is gone. We never have left overs. There is always someone there to eat it to the bottom. We have a little plant nursery in the shade where I have flower seedlings growing. When they are ready we will plant them in the places by the house. We built a patio overlooking the ocean it is wonderful and we have planted many flowering bushes and plants. It is so fun.
