Dry Season

Posted bycgvanPosted inGeneral Information
Not all the rivers dry up

We have been in the dry season for 5 months and do not expect rain until the end of march This area is rolling savanna scattered with 1500 ft rocky out cropping like they were pushed up out of level ground. (see photos and Map) It is extremely dry right now but I am told that by the end of march the rains will begin with an annual rain fall of about forty inches. This is the time when people rebuild their grain storage binds, repair their corn stalk fences, get grass to repair their roofs, gather firewood and make mud block to build with. People also have cassava plots in the dry season. But it is not always dry I include a picture of the rains.

Fog? No, Harmatan dust
A lot more clouds now days
The river at Komfoni (see map) is completely dry
A dry season casava patch proteced from goats
A dry season casava patch proteced fron cattle and goats
Everyone is looking for water at the pump
Dry season is a time to gather grass for the roof repair
And a time to make building block
Dry Season A time for courses and gatherings.
Whatever these ants were after they cleared a trail to get to it
Flowers out of ashes
A preview of the rainy season God willing
No lack of water at the hotel along the Benue river
