We had the third driest January on record, that meant cold weather as the rain sure does warm things up. We are only 2 miles from the coast but in a cold valley and it froze nearly every night into the low 20's. Our pond even froze over. Ferne is on the coast and probably did not ever freeze as the sea really keeps things warmer in the winter and colder in the summer in this area.
Now it is cloudy and we are hoping for rain this week. The pastures look like they have been mowed and really need some rain as this is our growing season. In Kenya where we were the rains generally stop by December and this year they continued into January. I am sure we missed out on seeing more lions as the grass was so tall. Spooky when you are walking though. Ann O
