in the philippines, most rice-farmers practice double-cropping, i.e., they plant twice a year, allowing about 2 months pause in-between planting called the fallow period. after the first crop is harvested, the land is left to dry and recuperate before it is again plowed in preparation for the next planting season. at this time of the year, the dry-season crop must have already been harvested and the fields get a short hiatus.

pinoy as i am, my blog doesn’t do winter hibernation. i’m a tropical flower through and through! as i revel in the sights, sounds, and yes, even the smells back home, this blog will rest awhile. but not for long. the rainpours in june will herald a new season. see you then!
