The unexpected rains
Category: life in camp | Date: Jan 21 2008 | By: admin
This week has been quite dull and chilly, the rains have just now begun. It is rather strange because people around the ranch don’t expect rains on these months, January and February. We normally get ’short’ rains in November and December. These are the months that livestock fatten so they will be able to sustain until the long March, April and May rains come. Our Maasai neighbors are very happy because they were having to buy water at 300 Kenyan Shillings for 150 litre drum (this is expensive compared to the usual 150Ksh/150 litre drum). Now, with all these recent rains, they only have to fetch water for their livestock from the nearby dams.

Nice to hear that your neighbors are getting relief from having to buy water. We are having some very overdue rains here today in Central California!! We need it bad.
