There are two wings that raise a man above earthly things, simplicity and purity. — Thomas à Kempis

May these days be filled with safe travels, hilarious jokes, compelling books, and kind companions. Enjoy your weekend, friends. (Emily Freeman, Chatting at the sky blog)

Life in Moz is so tough at times! There are days where you feel drained and sucked dry of all creativity and energy! I need to remember that there are always days that will brighten up the grey! This thorny thistle like weed grows prolifically in this arid p,ace - but check out the beauty of this little flower it produces lasting for one day, brightening up the harshness of the countryside! Help me to be like this Lord!

Wash-Day At The River - The Water-bearers by Jinge Norvall.... Here they come, Beautiful & laughing From dew-drop' t grasslands To the murmering river.. Here they come, Youthful, skipping, dancing Down the stoney bushpath To the sandy river' s early, crisp-cold morning. Water vessels held on high, Laundry baskets overflow... Babes on backs will bathe & play Whilst women work, gregariously... The sun has offered Hot & gold his shining, To warm the splash of bodies Brown & gleaming In the freshness of the river... Shimmering, the air vibrates with chatter, convivial hours joining hands To wile away the drudgery of duty... Bright cloth is spread on Bushel, tree & grass-tuft, Giving up its moisture In deference to the Lord of Day, the Sun... And now they go, Beautiful & laden Each one with bounty Free from Nature' s life-source. Backs straight against their burdens, Heads poised with balanced loads, The water-bearers leave a hush behind them... And as they toil back along the pathway, A sober silence settles all about them.. For chores await the women now returning - Each water-bearer knows that the water-bearer' s day is never done.

Baobabs on a cloudy day..... What do u prefer? Colour or black and white? Blessed day all.....

Heading home after a visit to the river........"everything" happens at the river!

Just weeds in the bush around Tete, and edited with a bit of drama........ Beautiful cool, overcast day in Tete today, something which doesn't occur often, so loving very moment!

sitting in the dirt watching their rats cooking for dinner, were 3 smiling children, waiting in anticipation for dinner.........(reminding you (and MYSELF!) to have an attitude of grattitude, in all things)

Been travelling a lot of late and haven't managed to update my blog! Took these 2 pics on the road from Chimoio to Tete today!

May your weekend be filled with colourful surprises! The Tete bridge spanning the Zambezi......
