Flooding

We are flooded out again and are quite concerned. What used to be an occasional and unusual phenomenon seems to have become an annual one, and the severity seems to be increasing. Most of our fields, in all directions, including those which NEVER were flooded before, are under water. Those that are not are inaccessible: our main building is completely cut off from the rest of the village because of flooding there.

Once the water recedes, it is hard to remember as vividly, and we get occupied with our regular activities. But this year, we will have to figure out how to address this. And we still have to determine the damage to our saplings, and to our walls.

In the meantime, we might as well enjoy witnessing nature’s might!
