Rain

It's raining today. It's been raining since Wednesday and when it rains, we can't harvest olives. Yesterday afternoon, the clouds parted and it was gloriously sunny. Last night, we had a perfect view of the stars. This morning: gloom again. We set out for the orchard, still with hope in our hearts. We picked through six trees before the rain started up. We packed up and now we are stuck in the house, waiting for a break. Forecast calls for clouds and rain until Tuesday and Josh and I have plans to leave for the next farm on Monday. It will be a complete bummer if we don't finish the harvest here. Blah blah blah. Rain rain rain.
