Flamboyant Trees

With the rains- 3 days now- have come the most, okay 2nd most, beautiful trees. Since we arrived in August, the streets have been lined with Jacaranda trees- purple flowers.

Now the Jacaranda flowers have fallen and the red Flamboyant trees are blooming-

Have I told you what a beautiful country Africa is? I tell Moses all the time.

Our avocado, mango, papaya and lemon trees are all starting to bear fruit. It is so exciting!The kids check them out everyday to see if they are ready yet. In our impatience we have taken many fruits that are not quite ripe- just to taste.

Moses and I went to the Rose Garden to pick out some new flowers for summer and buy some fertilizer. I am going to have him plant some yellow daylilies- that will remind me of the Bradley girls and Florida. We also bought a Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow plant. We have a lot of purple, red, white flowers in the yard- the yellow lilies will be a nice contrast!!
