April 2016

At the "porch office".  When not with partners, we usually work at the MCC office.  But sometimes it's nice just to work from home.

Safari ants, you can see the guards with big jaws.  We have to watch out not to stand on a safari ant trail when out hiking. 

Karura forest, we took a long hike on a Sunday to break in our hiking boots.

Worm bucket on the porch.  We can compost about half our scraps in the barrel, the other half we take to the Rosslyn school compost pile.

Lots of worms and some good compost for the plants

Nandi flame trees are in full bloom at the end of the dry season

Boys beating each other up with pool noodles - it keeps them entertained!

Geckos are very common, this one climbing out of the compost tea from the compost barrel.


Carina, our sweet neighbor dog.  She likes to bang on the door at 6:30 every morning to come relax on the couch.


Evan's homemade Korean kim-bob.  Evan takes food and trades it with his Korean and Indian friends at lunchtime at Rosslyn.  Cristina and Evan decided to make one of his favorite, which was wonderful.  So after several years in Kenya, Evan will be an expert in Korean cuisine. 

Bronze mannakin, they show up occasionally at our feeder.
