Walking among the sorghum fields here reminds me of the song "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" from the musical Oklahoma!, where it says "the corn is as high as an elephant's eye, and it looks like it's growing way up to the sky!"
We don't have leaves changing colour this time of year but we do have some fall colours--the ripening heads of sorghum:
People cut some of the best of the first ripe heads of sorghum and tie them up to dry in their compound, high in a tree or on a post. They will be used for seeds next year.

ReplyDeleteWhat do they/you use sorghum for? Michelle K from Canada
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle! Sorghum is the main food staple here. It is ground into flour, then cooked with water to make the thick "porridge" ("kuin") that the Dinka eat by dipping pieces of it into a sauce.
