This is called a Flamboyant Tree or Flame Tree. There are many in Tanzania and they only begin to bloom at the very end of the dry season and then into the short rainy season. As you can see this tree is in full "bloom" they are just beautiful this time of year and always bloom in late November and early December. We have had good rains this past week, 3/4 of an inch on December 1st, 2 1/2 inches on the 8th and then on the 9th and 10th a little over 1 inch. We are very thankful for these rains and how God continues to bless us here. We are excited because we are expecting many visitors during the Christmas holidays, our PCV, two new Swedish students and a couple of missionary families.
