A Tropical cyclone in April? and other family news

we are in the Tag Init season, when it is hot and dry. And thewinter rice harvest is going on: Kuya harvested one small field last week and is due to harvest a larger field on Friday. But now a tropical depression is due to hit: Not quite a typhoon but heavy rain and wind that could destroy the second harvest, and make it hard to dry the recently dried rice. LINK

we are signal one, not bad except that it could affect the harvesting of rice, not just for us but for eastern Luzon and parts of the Visayas...and of course the danger of flooding as the rains hit the mountains north of us and flow downstream. 

In other family news, Joy is supervising an agriculture course in Bulacan so is busy.

As for me: My big dog was very sick but is now back from the vet. Hopefully he will not relapse, and will start to eat more. Right now, he won't touch either dry or canned dog food, and even didn't eat the usual rice mixture from our cook that we feed the dogs. But he is willing to eat chicken. So the cook bought some chicken just for him.

He is our bigest dog, and the only one scary enough to keep us safe, so this is good news.
