Hello - many greetings and sorry for not posting more often - have been really busy and have limited access to the internet here. The plains grow hotter and dustier everyday and we hope that it rains soon. A few evenings ago I found a lovely shrub, the Maerua flowering at the edge of the Kiserian gorge. Some large, fat carpenter bees were swarming around the flowers as were some hawkmoths… Perhaps this is a sign that the rains will start soon and life will return to our dusty world here…
