Making Cow Paddies
Imadol, Nepal
Fall 2017
This woman made cow paddies all day long. She collected the manure from the neighborhood cows and mixed the cow manure with straw and water. She took a handful of this mixture and molded it into a flat, round paddies and then smashed it against the wall to dry in the sun. When it was dry and hard, she took it off the wall and used the paddie to fuel her oven and to warm her house.
I wonder how her hands smelled. Could she ever get that smell out of her skin pores?
