Dry Season

I can describe how I feel in one word - dusty. Oh my, I wish it would rain and this is only month one of the dry season. All the plants and trees next to the road are covered in a light brown layer of dirt. Your throat is parched and you have definitely ingested some dirt. Your clothes could be shaken out at the end of the day and produce their own sand cloud. When a big truck or bus is coming down the road towards you, you cringe because the cloud it billows up is about to enter your every orifice. Water is getting scarcer since the water from the pumps is from rainclouds. What's most frustrating of all - there are very cloudy days, windy too. You'd swear it was going to rain - and then, nothing.

Welcome to the dry spell.
