Manito

Just down the road from Green Valley is the town of Manito. It is here that Tua's grandfather David spends the majority of the growing season. It's close to the fields, the equipment, and most importantly, the irrigation systems. The task of getting up at 2 am to turn a sprinkler off is made much easier by the fact that your bed is within a five minute drive. It's too bad that Bug and Tua didn't make the trip out in July. Tua's sleeping habits would have been right along the same schedule as the spinklers, thought I don't think that she would have appreciated the brief soaking one gets as one walks up the lane to shut the water off. The top picture of Bug and Tua in front of the combine is followed by one of Tua and her aunt Hannah. Hannah, I have been told, has been having the time of her life with Tua.
