Rainy Season And Its Benefits, Though, Not Without Some Buts- LOH #291

Every season comes with its uniqueness, even as we have our preferences as humans. In my country or the part of the world where I live, we have two seasons(the dry and rainy seasons). The dry season has two parts - the hot and cold(harmattan) seasons. The hot season usually comes with heat rising from the scorching sun.

The harmattan season comes with both cold and dryness. It's usually cold at night and early hours in the morning, though, still dry even in the afternoon and with so much dust and dryness. I like the coldness because I sleep very well, but the dryness messes with my lips and skin and carries so much cough and catarrh.

Presently, we are in the rainy season, and June/July are mostly the peak of it. Since June 1st it's been back to back rainfall. Even as I write this post it's raining cats and dogs making the weather very chilly.

Though, I like it. I like the rainy season because of some seasonal foods that come with it. I'm a lover of vegetables,fruits and snails, which are usually available at this season, to my advantage, lol.

However, there's something I don't like about the rainy season. It slows down business operations and affects turnover, like I'm experiencing now in my business. Not only that, it also affects movement due to bad roads which is under construction and floods as a result of poor drainage systems.

Another thing I don't like about the rainy season is the feverish conditions that come with it. But I still like the season, since I can't have it all in a season, and can't do anything about it, but to live with it.

Despite all the cons that come with the rainy season, it is my favorite because it's the season I eat fruits in the rainbow, savour the sweetness in fresh vegetables and eat snails with steeze, lol. After all, they're seasonal and so I have to seize the moment.
