The lawn and all our beautiful gardens are gorgeous lush green again. Personally, I don't miss the seasons very much here (the cumulative feet of snow back in the NE USA this year - no thanks!) but I do like marking our own sense of seasons. Rainy season is in full swing and I've started to see first hand how important the rain is to farmers and other people who depend on the land, especially the great majority of Ugandans who are linked to the land. So this weekend we watered the plants, saw the new buds of passion fruit, lettuce and arugula and other herbs sneaking out of the soil, and spent as much time outside as we could in the gorgeous, breezy and pleasantly balmy sunshine. Naomi is in a very strong lock-on dada phase right now and really never wants him out of her sight. He is her hero. Especially when he fixes just about everything. She broke one of the leaves off of a heliconia branch last week and she said "Dada fix it". He is a miracle worker. This weekend he put up a swing, assembled the new-to-Naomi sliding board we inherited from a friend and her absolute favorite - her new "boda boda", a cool little plastic car that she tools around the yard in for hours.
