Description

(((~~ MONTHLY THEME ~~)))

During the rainy season in the Philippines, rice paddies are soaked with water for at least a month so that they can till and churn the Earth using the Water Buffalo, nowadays we use the Mechanized Tiller in preparing the soaked soil for planting the Rice Seedling, a very labor-intensive undertaking, to which I am very much aware of for I use to plant Rice the same way they are planting now.
