No Rain Yet

Strange that there isn't rain when you can use some. Oh well. The sunny days are good for drying the onions and cutting the grasses around the paddy fields. We had to spread fertilizer and plow and then plow again. After it rains and we flood the fields, we will plow yet again.

Some farmers are still burning their fields, so a smoky haze hangs over the valley but there are strong winds in the evenings that clear the air. Frogs and crickets are louder than before and the fields are full of birds - all kinds - picking up the dropped wheat and assorted insects before the fields are flooded.
