Finally heard from partner in Dominica (landlines & cell down almost 2 
days; I'm in U.S. for visit)  after Hurricane Dean swept through.  He 
and our household animals got through without injury (Thank you, Jah!).  
Tree fell on farm truck but it can start up and our decrepit rental 
house got more decrepit but roof stayed on.  No way to get to farm yet 
(fallen trees, landslides), but all reports are that ag on island pretty 
well decimated by the wind/rain combo.  This is a land of small 
farms/farmers who live on the edge at the best of times. Please send 
prayers for them all.

What a Sisysphian thing farming is!  And yet my thoughts are of 
gratitude for what survived, that we are blessed to have work that lets 
us be outside nurturing life, and how to best get going yet again. 

Best wishes to all,

Karen
