The middle of November we took a quick trip to Lusaka, the capital city, to meet with a man about the house we will be renting here in Kitwe. We were able to stay at Fringilla Farm/Guest House. We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere while the kids had fun on the playground. They also enjoyed walking around the farm and seeing the animals. We saw goats, pigs, cows, chickens, and ducks. There were cute Siamese kittens hidden in one of the lots among some old farm equipment. We quietly watched them play for a while. The goats were cute until they started butting the kids - then they got annoying.
The grounds around the guest houses and restaurant are very well kept. We were amazed at the size of this flambouyant tree. This picture doesn't really do it justice. I couldn't get far enough away to get the whole tree in the frame. The flambouyant trees are beautiful in October through December with their red blossoms. I remember last year I was watching the red petals fall from the trees in our front yard and thinking that it really was autumn!
