A few photos of August


My lovely little compound calf Pearl decided she like the taste of my drapes. Moments later she walked into the house and pranced over into my room. Whoops.

My little buddy I found in my garden. Did you know Ethiopians are terrified of frogs! 

A lovely moment of peace (before the storm) at the nature club along the Tagona River



Last week I rode my bike up to the Bale Beauty Nature Club site to collect a few trees for my compound "mom". Here is my "gobez" duct- tape way of transporting them back the 5km- yay for cardboard boxes. (And for my new electric kettle that heats water in a jiffy!)

Yesterday I had the unexpected joy of dashing into the Senetti Plateau with my local PC environment friends. 

Ah the wonders of Giant Lobelia on the Plateau. 


As we hiked back to the car we hustled to avoid the huge menacing storm approaching. Driving away the storm hit and soon the entire plateau was coated in hail. It was beautiful all white mixed with the red dirt road. So close to snow- I was delighted!

The amazing pizza I just ate!!! WOW! (Whoda thunk you can cook pizza in a skillet!)

The latest version of my yard, thanks to my bored landlord Afork. Complete with hammock in the back. My own little bit of paradise. (maybe he needs a spoon to keep him happy- ha! so bad!)
