Threshing

Who needs a gym membership when you can thresh millet by hand?

After 40 minutes of threshing I had two hands full of blisters, but was happy. The sun was setting and I knew Sam’s mother wanted to get it done before the sun went down so I insisted on helping. Plus, I love hearing her laugh and there is nothing that makes her laugh harder than watching me perform the tasks of a Ghanaian woman.
