Full of promise
I’ve been watching this field for a decade now; it’s a dryland farm, so the farmer is dependent on the right amount of rain at the right time for his crop. I’d guess that half the years I’ve watched, he hasn’t had any crop at all – all those drought years were tough. Usually he grows (or tries to) cotton, but this year he switched to sorghum.
And maybe he’ll get to harvest it soon.

Two-stop shopping
Remember those giant dresses from yesterday?
How convenient that there’s a loan place right next door.

Giant dresses
Those are some BIG dresses, aren’t they? Also, if you were wearing one of them, it seems like you’d be trapped in the room where you got dressed, since they’re wider than the door.
(I photographed this for my friend Ehpem, who did some research on quinceañeras after I posted this picture. I’d promised a photo of the dresses, and here it is.)
