Sometimes I think that I'm practicing to be 90. This afternoon I was going to go to a yoga class that is on a pavilion on the water with 2 other girls. A thunderstorm started at about 3:40 and the class was at 4:00. It continued storming hard, so we didn't want to walk to class (or be under the pavilion in the storm). So, instead, I knitted and fell asleep. When I woke up, I continued knitting and that's when it hit me...I'm practicing for when I'm 90 years old and this is what I will do everyday! Anyway, we've had a big storm and lots of rain, so I've been stocking up on water just in case. The power is out everywhere right now, but thanks to our generator, we have power. :) This morning I went to Savanne Paille (local school I go to on Thursdays). Tomorrow is the Creole Festival and all schools are out and no one will work because it is a national holiday. The children all had their creole clothes on and they preformed creole dances for us. It was so cute! Little kindergarten boys and girls dancing together. The kids that were in about 4th-6th grade could really dance! They were shaking it! I watched closely so I can teach them to Ryan when he gets home from the library tonight. :) I really enjoyed watching that but since we did not know they were going to perform, none of us had cameras. One of the workers at the school said he would email pictures. If he does, I'll be surprised, but I'll post them if I ever get them. Apparently everyone will have on creole clothes tomorrow. There was a mom at the school with a baby that was probably 4 or 5 months old and the baby was wearing a tiny creole dress!
Yesterday afternoon I kept hearing loud mooing (louder than usual). I opened my kitchen curtains and the above pictures are what I saw. In the second picture, there is a baby cow nursing the cow on the right. You may be able to barely see it's behind. The cow on the left had a lot of leaves and vines stuck on it's left horn. Not sure if you can see that to clearly either.
