The well is dry
Not really...I mean there's still water down there, but not enough to pump out. So last night I stoked up the fire in the kitchen and spent about 2 hours boiling river water. Unfortunately the old kettles added more unpleasant residue as well as a metallic charcoal flavor to the already potent river mix. But in more happy news, we put the roof on the house today! Felt good to FINISH something. Not only that, but some thunderheads rolled in and dumped a load, which the tin sheeting we just put up conveniently served to us. We collected several liters of potable water to replace the river beverage, all in the span of about 15 minutes. Welcome to the rainy season! Didn't have to water the garden today. And I had peanut butter on my pancakes for supper. Yep. I'm smilin'. Kinda funny, the things that humor us missionaries. I mean the things that keep us in humor...(I was going to say "good" humor, but CLEARLY that is something I lack.) And I'll leave it at that.
