The Floods

It's rice-planting time and that means the irrigation is in full effect. I'd estimate a good 1/3 of Ichinomiya is under six inches or so of water and another 1/3 will join it shortly. It is absolutely insane and amazing to look outside and see plots full of water. Luckily the mosquitos I was expecting to come along with the standing water have yet to show up in any significant way. The locusts and frogs have definitely been drawn out though. Been meaning to go out at night and get some recordings.
