We are rejoicing even though it wasn’t much rain tonight, but the way this rainy season is not happening then one third of an inch of rain is such a relief at Green Pastures this evening. PTL! This drop of rain will be a life-saver to many of the trees we planted a couple of weeks back. I estimate that 10% of the 1,800 planted thus far are now dead or on the way there – but we need to save the 90%. If we get more rain in the night and tomorrow then we will be able to plant the rest of the trees awaiting planting next week. It’s a risk, but life in this semi-arid region is a risk and challenge! We have to go for it as it’s no good waiting for ideal times!
