Day On The Farm

We had the privilege of spending last Saturday with our good friends Fandi and Mercy and their children Jesse and Petra out on the dairy farm where they live and work. She dries flowers, is an artist, and works for the dairy farm owner. He runs a guest house on the farm and is currently refurbishing several buildings for people to stay. Their life is charming. 


These are the kind of people that just pull you into their world and instantly make you feel like family. A darling farm house, lots of tree climbing, a looooong walk through most of their property, and a nice leisurely lunch. I didn't want to leave. The farm is in Kiminini, only about 20 minutes from Kitale town, but I felt like I was a world away . . . 

The farm house!

the African Tulip Tree (also called a Fire Tree), and the Acacia.

We found a BIG moth on our walk!

Jumping off the pile of manure. Seriously.

Super-manure-man

These trees were amazing and HUGE

Some of their calves.

Jesse & Kenya . . . they walked together the whole time.
