Be joyous and thankful!

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.

 

30 October 2014.

Alhamdulilaah. All praise is due to Allah for energy and creativity. I felt that I needed to post another picture of the other kitten because Leo (the white socks one) is so flippin photogenic. And so the other kitten named Wolverine also gets a space on the blog. These pictures were taken by one of the students here, shukran.

The weather has been awesome with the rain and cool weather and its been good for the garden. Its been bedrywig here at the school as it was Aadil's birthday as well Sh Saleem and what do we do for fun - we braai and eat strawberries. So all kinds of wonderfuls, salad from the garden and the boys tried their hand at making dessert - a pavlova of course. Slamat all of you for whisking and decorating it was delicious right? I think we are all so duk of strawberries when one thinks of it. But when you get out and see how lush they are on the bushes, you can't resist especially because its so sweet.

Tomorrow we intend to finish the last patches of planting at IPSA inshaAllah and then work out turns for maintenance during study break. I must say I am impressed Abubakr built about 18 small desk easels for the Art group who will take to brush and canvas tomorrow too. And I am quite happy to add that our blog group will publish their own blog soon - IPSide edge is what they are calling it, reporting on all of the goings on with the Enrichment students.

I wanted to write this short note just to say Shukran to all who check out The Schaapkraal Diaries from time to time - today the pageviews stand on 3008. I must say that I enjoy doing the blog especially when I get feedback that it inspires others to try their green thumbs too and that they have a good laugh now and then. Sometimes life is tough and we forget to be joyous and thankful.

Have an awesome day inshaAllah.

Keep on planting food!
