Watering the Fields

I caught this picture as we were sailing and again it was a humble feeling. These people work so hard for their basic needs. These two ladies are watering their fields with the two cans attached to a stick that they put over their shoulders. They dip the cans into the water and walk down the rows watering. We have seen this many times, but as I watched them walk down that log into the water, I watched with great respect. There are more farms now that we see using generators that pump water out and they can spray the fields with a hose. No doubt they are still a vast minority. Another thing is that the level of the river is as its height, so in three or four months, the river will drop 10 or 12 feet. Imagine walking down that far to get water! gail
