Community Elders Pass Away

The Hypocrisy Of Humans

By
There are many positives I enjoy about winter. There is less going on outside, more hours to catch up on office matters that get pushed aside at other times of the year, and usually I can get more sleep. There are, however, also downsides, and for me it is too much time to think. They […] Read more

Finally Some Rain Arrived

SEPTEMBER 19 It’s really hot and dry. We’ve been short on irrigation water for more than a month, unable to water the fields again after getting the hay off. Right now we’re down to using one ditch (out of six ditches coming out of the creek at various elevations, to water our many small fields) […] Read more
