| Another thing Gamboula has a lot of, are dragon
flies. Fish ponds are always good viewing places, and it is always fun to see two dragon flies facing each other and in the exact same position. |

| This year At Somongue we are hoping to receive
funding to plant more high yielding palm trees. These trees produce more nuts, have smaller kernals, more flesh, and don’t grow as tall. |
 |
| Here is an example of what you can do with the old kind of palm nuts. These rings are a way for kids especially to make a little money. So far though, I have not had any one catch on how to make them though. |

| This past week Roy and Aleta Danforth and I
moved out to Somongue. We are living in two cute little houses nestled up against a forest. It is in the middle of dry season now, so things are quite dry, I can’t wait to plant things around it when the rains start up again. |

| A few of us got our first taste of Gamboula
honey on Wednesday when one of the bee colonies in a small hive, needed to be upgraded to a full size hive. During the moving process, some comb that happened to have honey in it just happened to “accidentally” get broken off. Good thing we had a bucket with us just in case this kind of thing happened, so we could bring it home. Next time we might have to have a few more accidents. The honey was good. |
