Rice is green.

 Huge fields of bright green rice is a welcome sight for this girl. 
 It means I am "home". 
 This is where I grew up, walking along the levy looking for frog eggs to scoop up  out of the water in the rice field into a Miracle Whip jar to take home and wait for them to hatch.
Now it's where they grow up. My precious nephews and nieces!







They are amazing and they are fun! 
I miss them already.

I honestly had no clue that rice came from a plant until I lived there as a teacher. I was amazed. It looked NOTHING like what I bought in the store. (I also learned to eat rice and gravy, rice with chili, etc...still do) Neat memories.
