The harvest is almost finished. A good harvest.

It is getting hot, and there was a report two local kids drowned while swimming in the irrigation canal: which is forbidden, since the sides are steep, and the current is swift. Sigh.

It is also time for kite flying: Gusty winds in the late afternoon, so all the kids are out with their kites.

After church, the dog was chasing cats and had a nose bleed. He had one earlier this week, and so I figured it was a cat scratch, but when it didn't stop we went to the vet who said it was coming from inside, and put in some medicine and we applied cold compresses.

Blood work tomorrow. This is our watchdog, a labrador, but he is 11 years old, and getting frail. Sigh.

The dog in the business side of the compound just had three puppies. So far they are all okay.

Church was crowded for the 5:30 mass: Lent, getting toward Easter. So I left early.

The church that meets in our meeting center is going strong: Halleluyah! mostly young folks and Pentecostal.

Jordan is planning to get married in May in Borachay: but Duterte is planning to clean up the place (drugs, prostitution, and illegal houses) so he may have to marry closer to home. We are invited, and the place is beautiful: the best beaches in the Philippines. But I probably won't go, because I hate to travel.
