I wish I could have a cow!

If I could have a cow, it would be a Dexter Cow. We would have fresh raw milk and it would be lovely. Unfortunately both my husband and the prospect council do not feel the same way! (And probably the neighbors too!)

But on the upside, it does look like we will have chickens (or at least a coop) in the near future! Exciting stuff!

The garden and fruit trees are (just) surviving, so we will have yummy corn, peaches, tomatos and capsicum soon! I'm not great at remembering to water when we can, so maybe it's just as well I can't get a cow!

PS We are VERY happy that Eric is home safe! Yay! Keep watching the Kenyan situation though as people are still dying and Eric's girlfriend is still over there

Trying not to worry too much about Eric

So my brother Eric is in Kenya right now, which is apparently at present a very violent and dangerous place to be.

Here are some articles about what is happening there:
Basically from what I can gather the violence has been sparked by the election (and apparent dodgey-ness surrounding it's legitimacy), tribal fighting, general unrest and lots of violence and killing.
I am worried for Eric, and just can't wait for him to get home next Tuesday!
For those who pray, please remember him, and all those in danger over there right now! that peace will be restored soon!
