Tuesday, August 16

It rained a little bit last night!  Please keep praying for a good balance of sun and rain.

While we were cleaning off the school books this morning, we heard a C-R-A-C-K followed by a thud and looked out the window to see another papaya tree on the ground.

Naomi taught the kids how to cut the papaya branches to make a sort of whistle/kazoo, and Benjamin began experimenting with different lengths of papaya trunk for drums.

The fun that followed would surely have made our music professors grimace, but the Choate band drummed and squawked and made a ruckus.  The break was a nice diversion from cleaning.
