Aug. in Pictures

After our Kenya team meeting we took an extra day to walk in the Kakamega forest and watch the wildlife.

We stayed in a rustic room on stilts looking out into the forest.

It was wonderful to be in a place with so much rain and green.

We often enjoy sunsets whle we water the plants and trees

The builder came and opened the roof of our house to clean out all the bat guano. 


They replaced 6 panels with clear sheets to add light.

They removed 30 or 40 kilos of bat guano.

We had a mess to clean up inside in our pantry.

Doug's the one who cooks interesting things these days- for each of our specific diets! delicious.

A little fun with cement. Doug made a pad for the big water tank, complete with a pad for the bucket to sit on.

The passion vine that I nurture and am training to climb as I want. Currently has about 7 fruit.

The tomatoes are loaded and the birds were having a hay-day. But hopefully this will help.

We celebrate all the fruits of our garden- here is a tomatillo.



We had a little trip to the Mt Suswa lava tube caves. This is an as yet un-studied ancient wall painting. It was pretty cool to see this inside the cave.

We got to walk to the edge of the double crater. Its a spectacular place.

looking into the second crater.


Here we are at our friends' in Nairobi enjoying a gift box from home. What a highlight!!!!! We are so blessed.

Doug never tires of capturing the sunsets on the camera. This is the current favorite.
