Snow?? My version.

Winter...Winter???Um...not really.I just talked to home last night and they were talking about being snowed in.  I saw other pictures people sent me of their cars covered in snow. Such a concept...snowed in? cold? It is hard to fathom when it is 100 degrees everyday and very dry.But in keeping with the Holiday Spirit I too had a "light dusting" on my car. Dusting...as in real dust. From December to early February Ghana, especially northern Ghana, experience the Harmattan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmattan . There are more positives to Harmattan than negatives. I like the dry weather. Yes, it is still hot during the day, but it is a dry hot. I don't sweat so much, it sort of just evaporates. (Yes, I drink plenty of liquids!) Clothes drying out on the line take very little time. If you need bread crumbs just keep some bread out for a few minutes and VOILA! you have crunchy bread, easy to grind to crumbs :). The nights are cool. The other night I slept with no fan. WOOOOOO!!! A miracle :) But, on the downside, there is dust everywhere!!! AHHH! Every day you can swipe your finger across something and see it. You can feel it under your feet. And, it makes me sneeze too, though, I am taking allergy meds and that controls it.It was about an hours drive from Tamale.We had water for a few days last week. It was wonderful. We also had a family stay with us for about 5 days...and then when they left...so did the water :( We are again living from jerry can to jerry can.It sounds really terrible and it is but I think God has really covered over my mouth and mind of complaining with contentment and it just has become something to deal with. Or...maybe you have been praying for me! Yes, that is probably what it is! THANKS!!! Pray they open the water pipe to let the water flow. Can you believe Christmas is next week??? Ei!!!
