Plowing

This is one of Kazi Moto's wives, the beauty who can plow like crazy. I stopped to see Kazi last time I got out to Tarani and he is not in good health. She seems to be doing , however and still is quite beautiful in old age. This is a single bottom steel plow pulled by four oxen and she is breaking up some virgin soil down below our place preparing to plant corn. As you can see from the dry grass, the time is near the end of the dry season when planting begins and roofs are thatched. Walls are mudded when the rains begin so that water does not have to be carried. This spot is between the Serengeti Plains to the east and Lake Victoria/Nyanza to the west.
