No Rainy Season?

It looks like there will be no rainy season this year. Every day we look at the forecast and are happy to see rain for the next day, but every next day we wake up to blue skies and sun. There is enough spots of rain that the plants are all growing, but I have no idea what they would be like if we were getting as much rain as expected.

A few days ago there was a nice mist just barely hiding blue skies as I went down to check on the water in the rice fields. I ran back and grabbed my camera, but I think I should have spent more time trying to get "just the right" shot. Still, you can see that our fields are coming along nicely and the rice is about the same height as our neighbors', despite the fact that we did not use much fertilizer.
