May

April was a challenging month, as I said, and May wasn't too easy either. It has been very hot and humid, and several of us had nasty heat rash and trouble sleeping. Marc has been slowly getting better, but he's had ups and downs. It is hard to rest in this weather. Lying down on a bed or sofa just isn't appealing.

Fortunately we've had the first rains, which have taken the edge off the heat for a couple of days each time, and we will be easing into rainy season. We've planted some corn, and it's fun to see that sprouting already.

We were given one hen, and bought another to keep her company. It's nice to see them pecking around in the compound, and we are enjoying the extra eggs.

This is also wedding season, and in May we went to Pastor Samuel's daughter's wedding.
