Planting Rice in July

The kids helped plant the fields directly across from our house

 Getting the hang of it

No leeches today!

 Ah, a finished field

 Muddy and happy

Our House in Northern Laos

 The little, brown roof nestled in the trees at the far end of the rice field is our home.   It is built on stilts, but the rice is so high the stilts cannot be seen.

 The kids had great fun tromping home from visiting a sick lady in the village.

 The mountain behind our house is Toe Mountain.
