The Home owns land that rice and wheat is grown on. It is not on our compound so we took a trip both in the morning and afternoon to take food and chai to the workers who were planting out the rice today. It's so wonderful to get out in the fields and try our best to communicate with the workers. Their backs must have been aching from leaning over all day but the smiling faces did not give anything away. I would love to go back again during harvest time in 3 months. I have never seen how it is harvested and have always had a fascination with rice as it comes in prepared bags ready to cook in NZ. It's a lot of sweat and hard work to get rice to our tables. I think you appreciate your meals more when you see how it got to your plate.
Some of the rice will be sold but the rest will be stored for use at the girls home. There's nothing quite like eating rice from the ground to the table.
It's funny to think that I will have a new babe in arms before this rice crop is harvested. I will be 32 weeks this coming week.
