You can now see that I have taken the time to add a photo today. This is a picture of us harvesting Ground nuts or G-nuts as they are commonly called. (In America we call them peanuts.) It is a bit strange to think of harvesting in June, but I guess it is good too. It is now the dry season and everything is getting to the end of the growing season. This was my first time to see and harvest G-nuts, so I was enjoying. It was really easy too. Now we have to set them in the sun for awhile and let them dry and them take the time to de-shell them. That is what will take the longest time. Our maize (corn) is also over now, but it sure was nice to have fresh corn. The avocado tree that is in the back yard is almost out of avocados too. I hope that the rains will begin again soon so that things will start to grow again.
By the way, I love the house that we are in right now. That we are able to grow all these things. I am already trying to plan for the next growing season so that we will make the best use of the space that we have. I want to try onions and potatoes this next time, and maize and G-nuts again. If I can I even want to get some other seeds from town to try. We will see. Just waiting for the rain to start again.
Oh yeah, I was talking about how much I love the house that we are in right now. It is self contained meaning that we are the only house in the fence and that we have our own water and electricity. The only down part is that we are renting it and that we have to pay three months at a time. That is to happen in just a week and we are just praying that the money will come in time. I know that God is in control though and that is all that matters.
See you later.
Heather
