The Short Rains

The second major rainy season has begun. Looking out our bathroom window this morning, I saw damp concrete. This brought joy to me, as it means the dust will be less than before. And of course the many Kenyans who depend on their crops for survival will be blessed!

By the way, today is a national holiday in Kenya: Kenyatta Day. I am enjoying that Nakumatt's internet cafe is open! (I am sorry for those who work today, allowing me the pleasure of being here when they should have the day off.)
