I wrote about maize parties here at Hekima Place in the past. Today there was a ‘bean shellin’ party. A huge pile of beans that needed to be shelled came in from the shamba. Everyone, from the littlest girls to the biggest along with the mums and even Rick, was called upon to help. I was taking one of the girls to the doctor for a school required physical, so I missed out on the fun. Rick took photos.
The beans were a bit peculiar looking - mainly because of the color. They were off white and pink spotted or almost all pink! We asked what kind of beans they were, but nobody had a name for them. I’ll be interested to taste them whenever they turn up in some dish served at dinner.
It’s been raining this evening. The girls all came to dinner in colorful rain gear. Some of it fit and some didn’t!
The frogs like the rain - they get really noisy when it rains. This evening, I took a video purely for the sound - but, again, I can't get it to upload. Another one you'll have to wait until I get home to (in this case) hear since there's nothing to see except the bugs flying around the porch!
