Family news

Joy and Chano and the farmers are out getting in another rice field. We postponed it for the last two days because it rained during the night, and by the time the fields dried, it started raining again.

Last night it didn't rain a lot, So they are out trying to get another field done before it rains (and it's getting dark...)

our main jeep thresher is getting old, and our new secondary thresher (which can be wheeled out to the fields with a waterbuffalo) is smaller...but the rice is cut by hand so usually we get a lot of folks to help. Even Dita (our 65 year old cook) takes off to help her kids during harvest season.

I am staying home. I was city born and bred, and would be in the way.
