Update from the Ngamo Pride: Milo shows he is still the boss - https: Let's do it for Masuwe Primary! The 13 th October saw the beginning of a refreshing few days in Ngamo as the rain paid a short visit to quench the dry earth.
It was lunchtime as the shower began and the pride were taking a leisurely stroll of their territory in The Valley. It wasn't quite big enough for eleven lions to gain shelter from the deluge however.
They remained among the foliage, all huddled together, until the rain eased off and, as it did, it left behind a fresh crisp air that the pride no doubt felt too. As they gradually made their way from their shelter bouts of play erupted amongst the younger pride members with mischievous AS4 leading the fun and leaping upon her brother and half-sisters. A small herd of impala were spotted and with The Valley yielding perfect long grass for cover the lions were soon completely out of sight and all went quiet.
After some moments, during which the pride was presumably getting silently into position, there was a flurry of action as the impala bolted with Phyre, AT1, Ashanti, Kenge and Kwali hot on their tails. The soup sound delicious! It was good to do something in the garden for the first time this year.
My established Hellebores are starting to bloom too. Zoey, she is two and Jasper, is five. They were a whole lot of fun, but it wore me out. I had them for 12 hrs I loved every minute!! Yours looks delicious, by the way. Flowers looked beautiful too. I hope you have a great Sunday and thanks for letting us share your day. February in Indiana is always a challenge.
At least the sun is trying to shine here today! Rainy in NC as well. Temperature is 65 degrees. The daffodils are blooming. Soup on a cold day is yummy. A fire and a good book makes for a perfect day. I always felt flowers brightened up my workplace- when I wa working; they brighten up any day.
Thanks for the book recommendation — so many books, so little time. I so enjoy your blog entries.
Today is my birthday. I spent a couple hours with my daughter and granddaughters. Our weather last week was ICE. I would much rather have snow or rain…but we got ice. This week is looking better.. I hope everyone has a great week last one in February. We are ready for Spring.
I wish I had time to sit by the fire and read. Life is very busy.
Here in Rochester NY it is 52, partly sunny and extremely windy. Feb is not for wimps. Winter will rear its ugly head soon enough. We take what little snippets we can get of spring.
Restaurants and bars keep their terraces open in the damp though, and the insides are all cold tiled floors and chilly drafts, and museums are carefully chiselled but cavernous. Aren't you a bit unfair here! The 13 th October saw the beginning of a refreshing few days in Ngamo as the rain paid a short visit to quench the dry earth. Milo shows he is still the boss - https: Southerners advised not to travel.
Just downloaded a couple of books to listen to while driving to work. Your soup looks wonderful for a day like this. I actually contemplated making potato soup myself but had some leftover meatballs I chopped up and made into stuffed pepper soup instead, tasty and comforting on a damp, rainy day in PGH PA.
Too funny you and Laura both picked the same bright color. I just have a bad cold along with some allergies that refuse to go away so I will enjoy the thought of Nora and family enjoying potato and ham soup with a good book on a rainy evening.
I totally love thought provoking books to read. I will try to find this one while I am in Florida the next 2 weeks soaking up some hopefully sunshine. I hope the weather will be kind to me and my friend this year and the illnesses we have both been fighting off all fall and winter will take a vacation and leave us to ours.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. What I've got they used to call the blues: Nothin' is really wrong; Feelin' like I don't belong; Walkin' around, some. "Rainy Days and Mondays" is a song by the Carpenters, with instrumental backing by L.A. session musicians from the Wrecking Crew, that went to number .
Have a great week and totally love the bright spots of color in both your homes. Spent the evening with my children. They are both grown but with the opening of every Marvel movie we go have Mexican food and head to the movies! Here in nyc, weather has been crazy.
That book looks interesting. Life has shown me that everything, even what we believe to be mere coincience, is actually preordained. Thank goodness for the sump pumps; otherwise my basement would be a large swimming pool; jumping in from the doorway! Plenty of that to do with the winds we keep having! Sounded like a wonderful evening! I think we had a week of rain last week. I sat here Saturday evening and watched the fog fill up everything.
I live in the city and the fog just arrived and covered everything. Yesterday and today we have sunshine, warmer temperatures, too. Southerners advised not to travel. Hard to believe, by that picture, what the garden will look like in weeks and months ahead.
