This crop of flax is unusual in our travels into the country. When we saw this field of blue we had to stop and capture the scene. We see miles of yellow canola at this time of year but this is the first I noticed flax in bloom. I understand that this crop is planted as a rest crop as it takes up different nutrients than canola.

The magpies and crows descended today on the street in front of my house to pick at the remains of a pigeon who did not cross the road carefully. Another link in the chain: should have walked at the walk sign.

Everywhere we went in Rome on this day we ran into the Rome Marathon. It messed up our plans a bit but it was a colorful event that brought the streets alive.

On the last Saturday of each month the Dutch Reformed Church holds a market for crafts persons. Food items are also available. It is well known and well attended. We were fortunate to be there when it was open.

These greenhouse supports should be protecting growing food products to support a school. Poor management and aid money that expired put this project to dereliction. The teachers at the school had not been paid in several months but continued teaching local children.
