The rhinos in the playground

This seems like a really whimsical title, but there really were rhinos in the playground at Mokolodi Nature Preserve during our trip to southern Africa in 2009. The rhinos, which are rescued from other areas where they are being poached, roam quite freely throughout the preserve. They're definitely not tame, but they're also much calmer than rhinos I've seen in other places.

Getting ready for summer solstice party-- a little late!

Our friend Pinguim is visiting from Sao Paolo, Brazil, so we delayed our summer solstice party and will have it on July 4th instead. It should be fun-- at least 5 bands, and Pinguim will play with all of them!

Garden is getting more mature this year. Nice day to be outside.
