I finally made it back up to Semonkong on Tuesday, June 30th. It’s been a solid month since I’ve been back and I have to say it is nice to be back. The weather has taken a turn for the fridgid. I woke the next day to a temperature of 23ºF outside and 34ºF inside. Of course I already knew it was cold before I looked at the thermometer since it was hidden behind a sheet of frost (on the inside window).

My gardens have been decimated by the local wildlife. Cows and sheep have left evidence enough to know I’m gonna have to buy my carrots, cabbage, and spinach again this year. With my make shift plastic sheet I’ll be getting another grow box ready for August. This is all after living in a Maseru for another week (+) to help out with training; plenty of time to plan. . . something.

The greatest surprise of them all was that the generator that broke just as I arrived last year is finally fixed. With it we (the town) have electricity from about 7/8 am till about 10 pm every day. It doesn’t make the cold go away but it sure does distract me enough so I can pretend!!

Enjoy the summer weather USA, your time is coming!!
