Chadian Lawn Mowing

So wet season started a few mon back and it’s nearly gone already! It seems that traditionally things heat up again for the month of October, before the country begins to dry out and start cooling down a little leading into Chad’s coolest months December and January (keep in mind, when we arrived in January 2011, there was maybe one morning when we needed to where a jumper to stave off the ‘cold’). Obviously, one last burst of heat is just what we need – Chad’s way of making sure we don’t forget!
Anyway, in the wet season (which has been well below par this year apparently) the grass goes crazy. The point of this post wasn’t to complain about the slight increase in temperature, but rather show you that things do get green for a little while! The grass grows, and it needs cutting. Only thing is, most of the year there isn’t grass, so did you think we had lawn mowers in Chad? Well, in a way…
