What does it bring-The rain brings in the mud in the Tiko town municipality.To combat the mud you need to get a pair of shoes that is adaptable to it.They are called rain boots.That is a name that has been around so long as I can remember.The boots allow to venture out with ease into road conditions that would ruin any other type of shoes that you decide to go out with.You would also need to purchase an umbrella that you would need throughout the period that the rain is around.Do not be fooled by the occasional sunshine that you would see appear once in a while during the rain.The sun is really deceptive because the whether changes in a heart bit.For example two days ago heading into town,I left the umbrella behind because the weather looked okay getting out of the house.It changes drastically and I had to make a u-turn to go get the umbrella.
Some of the advantages of the rain-It does give people around the area an opportunity to do some farming.In our house,we used the side and back side of the house to grow some crops.Corn was the main cash crop that we grew.The one that we planted in March has already been consume by the household.We are looking forward to plant some more just before the 16th of this month hits.
Another advantage that the rain brings in the area is that it drives away the mosquitoes that show up once places are dried up.Part of the problem with the mosquitoes is that people throw away their trash in an area close to were we live.So the trash accumulated into a very big rubbish.There were times when it was disgusting just to get close to the area.I decided to do something and started to clean away some of the rubbish before the rains came. What happened is that once the rubbish was pushed into the little stream the rains came and carried away all of the mess.Now you come to the area and you would not recognize it if you were around during the mess. The rainy season brought some powerful doze of water that practically carried away all of the rubbish.People now come and take a bath in the area.The stream if you can call it that flows nicely and the area is very habitable this time of the year.What I need to figure out is what to do once the rains are gone and there is nothing to carry the dirt away.We have talked to the neighbours about the situation,trying to get them to stop throwing trash in the area to no avail.We might need to go to the area council and get some type of permission from them to get the neigbours to toe the line .
Opportunity to make some cash-I got some help in the house and what we did is remove a lot of the stones that were inside the stream,part of the reason that people could even come and take a bath in the area.The stones that we removed,I managed to sell it to one of our neigbours who is planning to erect a wall on one side of a building that is under construction.The money was not too much, but it is better than sitting around and waiting for manner to come from heaven.
I get to plant corn twice a year.The first planting was already done in the month of March and harvested in the month of June.I am planning on doing the second planting some time in the middle of this month,which is around the 18 of August 2011.
Merchants make some money-With the rain constantly fall merchants have the opportunity to make some money.That is merchants that are in the business of selling umbrellas,rain boots and rain coats.Umbrellas and rain boots are a very popular buy during this time of the year.Rain coats used to be very popular back in the days when I was still growing up.That seem to have changed nowadays.You do not get to see them a lot around now.The people that you see wearing them are the workers of a company called CDC and another corporation called Demonte.
The Mosquitoes disappear with the coming of rain.-When the rain comes,the mosquitoes tend to disappear.This is because first of all the is not much standing water for them to breed on.Secondly the dirt that used to lie around has been carried away by the flowing water.So with the rain been around you can start having some sound sleep.
