The river and the garden have been the foundations of my economy here. Of the two I have liked the river best. It is wonderful to have the duty of being on the river the first and last thing every day. I have loved it even in the rain. Sometimes I have loved it most in the rain.

A lot of the rain ran off and a week later, we were dry again. We didn't get rainfall that was spread out through the growing year, which is what really hurt us.
