I have discovered this fabulous woman who runs an initiative here in Zimbabwe employing local disadvantaged women to spin locally grown cotton into yarn. The yarn is fantastic and to help the women is also a great initiative to get lots of this yarn! Just look at some of the colours.
I knitted up a couple of baby vests and nappy covers for a friend's sweet little babe.
I shall be knitting lots more using this gorgeous local cotton yarn.
Yesterday, we discovered a swarm of bees in our garden.
They visited for the day and then moved on. Unfortunately, we didn't see them leave but it was fascinating watching this huge ball of living, buzzing bees.
The boys had a bike clinic and washed their bikes.
My yesterday, today and tomorrow bushes are flowering. We have big water shortages in Harare, coupled with us being heading into the hot, dry season here, water is a precious commodity! Each morning Jediah and I fill buckets with bath water and water these bushes. We have been rewarded with beautiful white, lilac and purple flowers and such a beautiful scent.
