When I think of Kenya, these are some of the images that immediately come to mind.
One of the most beautiful countries I've even been in. The scenery, the animals, the smells, the people. Emotionally & physically challenging, but it draws you in. Regardless of how much time you spend, you feel as though you could stay forever, it could be home.
It is lush and green. Greener than I imagined Africa to be. It can be cool and it can be sweltering. It is rich and it is poverty-stricken.I want to read every book and watch every movie about Africa and Kenya. To understand the history and know where it has been.
I'm just a lowly American commemorating an amazing country.

This was a really great post, Anne!! I've always been so interested in hearing about Africa.
Hey I just thought I'd respond to your comment on my page about the flower beds. The two flower beds are so different with their needs and I'm struggling to figure out what grows well in this sandy sunbaked soil. We already have 3 flower beds that we're working on so I thought I should limit myself to that since I'm not very good with flowers yet. One side yard flower bed doesn't get any sun and the other gets completely dried out. Sometime down the road I may use one for an herb garden, but since I can leave the house for a month or more at a time, I don't want to kill something the first year I put it in. So needless to say we had an overabundance of flower beds and we're just narrowing it down to the ones we think we can manage! :)
