Time to Harvest Maize



Last week we got to harvest maize. I have had the opportunity to plant maize before but this was a first for me. When we arrived at the field the maize had been cut and stacked like Tee-pees. Each stalk had one cob and we had to shuck it and throw the cob in a pile to be picked up later. It was hard work but fun. After we completed each Tee-Pee we would cheer and yell "Another one bites the dust". All the Kenyans would stop and stare at us!!














We looked like a motorcycle gang as the "pikis" came and got us at the compound to get us to the maize field.
