Rainy Season

Rainy season in Thailand is from June to October. And when it rains, it really rains! This year we were flooded several times. It is interesting to wake up, look out the window and your house is surrounded by water, including fish! It is kinda cool, but my mom does not like the 8 inches of water that gets into the back storage room.

Several times we could not make it out

of the house without wearing rubber boots. One day after wading to school, the school was also in a lake of water. The teachers had made a bridge out of benches to get from the road to the classrooms. We really "dove" into our studies that day.

Questions:

-Has your house ever been flooded?

-Have you had fish swimming in your yard?

-Have you ever had school cancelled due to flooding?

Worms, worms, worms!

Here in Thailand, it's now rainy season. Today when it stopped raining, I went outside to school to see who I could play with.

I saw a bird pecking at the ground. I walked closer to see what it was doing. Guess what? The bird was eating worms!

There were worms laying around everywhere! They came out of the ground to try to escape from the flood waters. So they were laying on the ground.

I decided to pick up the worms and play with them. I picked up the worms from the cracks in the concrete of the road outside my house. One after another, I started collecting them. Soon I had a pile of wiggly worms, but I wasn't scared!


I didn't know where to put them, because our yard was flooded. So I asked my mom, "Where can I put these worms?"

Mom said, "Not in the house!"


So I put all of them into one of the big plastic buckets we have with dirt in it.

Questions for my blog readers:

1. Are you scared of wiggly worms?
2. Have you ever played with worms?
   
3. Do you like playing with worms?
