Rainy Season & Drought

On this day two years ago, was the start of a long day that ended in the start of a long trip home to Iowa with a certain little boy in our arms.  Maybe I'll write more about that tomorrow.

For now, I'd like to share a blog post with you titled The Science of Rainy Season and the Problem of Drought in Ethiopia.  Living right in Soddo, Ethiopia (the town near Shanto where we stay), R and her husband manage a home for parentless children.  Reading through her posts have been of great interest to me.  This particular post about the weather has been open on my computer all week to read.  It gives a good glimpse of how weather impacts the people of Shanto as they live off the land.  If it interests you, it only takes a few minutes to read.
