Where is the rain?

BBC Weather predicted rain in Lilongwe today

This pictures is from our today's garden

Sunny, dusty, warm and no rain in sight

I wonder -

How can the trees be so green

with beautiful flowers ¨

when they haven't had any water

the last 6, 7 months?

Look who is free as a bird!

Our nine chicks are having

the time of their life

exploring our garden in freedom

They love following us

hoping for yummy food

And if no yummy food

there is always a yummy toe...

Our guard dogs

can't even bother to chase the chicks anymore!

Well, not quite true

A few times during the day we have to run out

because one of the chickens makes to much noise

That's when Sparky is finished resting

and want to play..

"Noooo, Sparky
don't chew on the chicken!"

Look, here he is lying in the shadow
looking at the chickens wondering happy around
until
Sparky jumps on one of them
very proud
and then let them go
until next time

So far they have not tried to eat them

But they want to

very, very much!

The Bougainvillea's is growing

The roses smell like heaven

And we will continue to wait for the rain -

- to wash the dust away

All the copper coloured you see on the ground

is dust

And it is not only outside!

Maybe the rain comes tomorrow?

I wish you a lovely week!
