Most people here are farmers. Rain and the status of the crops are major topics of conversation, particularly during the rainy season of June-September. Many years, the rains are poor and the November harvest is inadequate. There has been a lot of anxiety (and prayers) for rain this year, because up until a week ago, we hadn't see enough rainfall. But this past 9 days we have had about 6 really good rainfalls, and everyone's "blood pressure has quietted," as one of my friends said. And Ir and E love it.

Off topic, but we've been listening to The Princess and the Goblins and it always makes me think of you because the princess and Ir share a name. Such a good story! (If you don't have it, it's available free online.)
