Meet our newest addition - Flossie, the cow. A benefactor was kind enough to donate enough money to purchase two cows for Flying Kites. Every week, FKLA spends 4,000 shillings on milk. Flossie will pay for herself within a few months. The boys seem to like her quite a bit. I looked out the window this morning to find Flossie being walked by a gaggle of young men. I got quite a chuckle from that.
Later in the morning, we were sitting having tea, enjoying a relaxing saturday. Suddenly two boys bounced in announcing that they had seen a rabbit in the shamba (garden). I thought "Isn't that sweet? We are going to have another pet". Brian did a good job of suggesting that the boys make friends with the bunny and that they shouldn't capture him. Not that much later there was quite a commotion outside. Josie, the dog, was barking. There was a crew of kids all headed in one direction - yelling and totally excited about something. Of course, we decided that it was rabbit related. And we continued to drink our tea. Shortly thereafter we saw a group of boys walking past the window with the rabbit's head. Hmm. I guess that explains what was going on. It wasn't long before each kid walked in with either a foot or the tail or an eyeball. I think we are having rabbit for dinner tomorrow. Now I know why Sarah is a vegetarian.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
