Changing Weather

Feb 17

I do believe the weather here in Kenya is changing, or at least the summer is leaving and the fall is almost upon us. Well as far as fall can go this close to the equator. The equator is about 100km from here, so I’m not sure what the weather is suppose to be like in the fall here in Kitale.

Today I did some of my own wash. I just brought it all inside the house, and I asked Edna where the rest of my clothes are. She told me they are waiting to be ironed so I will look smart. I told her I wanted to Iron my clothes and she just flat out told me no. She actually told me no. I can’t believe it. I mean she told me no. I want to get it done so I have clothes to wear tomorrow, and we have power right now. Tomorrow night, Friday, I can guarantee that we won’t have power for a couple of hours if not more. 

I wish I had a gun cause I’d shoot those birds that make all the noise. Ibis I think they are called. All I know for sure is that they are extremely loud when they fly. Kenyan’s ask me if we have that same bird in America and I tell them NO Thank God! Then they laugh. 

Tomorrow is my visit to the Kitale Museum with the Baby Class. Not sure how many little ones will be going but I’m looking forward to the trip into town.
