Aloe Vera Plant in Bloom

Even though it has been extremely dry and dusty, some of the desert plants are blossoming around the Athi River campus. The plants seem to be just like these hardy, persistent Kenyans who blossom even in the midst of sometimes very difficult conditions. In this photo, Judy's long skirt and long sleeves are strictly for sun protection. She took her hat off for the photo, so you could see her new very short haircut. Both she and Phil got very short haircuts while they were in Mombasa as they weren't sure when they would next see someone to do haircuts.

A rainy season usually begins in March. There is actually famine in the southern part of Kenya because the rains didn't come last October/November. Pray for rain!
