Going to town

Going to the places He will show us,….

Going to town. Each morning and each evening the road in front of our home gives passage to herds of goats and cows, keep in line and moving on by the long sticks of their masters. I was able to catch a glimpse of them passing the final corner as they head in. I have no idea where they go, but only that they go back and forth each day!

In the foreground you can see the bird cage that Julius the gardener has made and as tried to keep three laughing doves in, according to John. Unfortunately for the doves, the roaming cat viewed the cage and their location as caged cat food. All have served as a food source for the cat! Julius has been unable to keep the cat out,…so the cage has now been dismantled. The bath tub is still there, serves as a work area for Julius.

The plants he has planted and the paths he has made through out the garden are his own design and undertaking. He has used a lot of what I call spider lilies, cannas, zinnias, succulents.
The yard has mangos and one orange tree, some papayas. I love the white “angle trumpets” that are blooming now.

He put in the beginnings of a bougainvillea hedge yesterday and a new, very small guava tree. EVERYONE is planting and putting all sorts of vegetables. This is the rainy season and now is the time. I understand that productivity is an option till august, when the dry season begins and the rains stop. Everything turns brown.
He has put in cabbage, onions, French beans (seeds a gift from Mrs. Meshach), passion fruit. Soon to come are tomatoes, okra, eggplant, an unusual custard apple tree. I hope to be able to send a picture as there is one close by. Also coming is a pomegranate, I love the way it looks and he is putting that in the center of his latest raised garden.
