The Backyard

Here is a 180 degree panorama of our backyard.  It looks a little funky, and I didn't take ANY time to make sure the lighting was all the same... I just threw it together, so this is what you get. 

There is a lot going on in the backyard.

There is the pila where the laundry is done.

There are about a dozen lines for drying the clothes hung between the house and various trees.

There is the hammock (or as Maria calls it her swing)

There is Abuelo's horno.

We can't forget the animals:

8 pollitos (baby chicks), a rooster, a turkey, & 2 dogs.

There are lots of food producing trees too:

Avocado tree, Cacao tree, mandarin-lime tree, sweet lime tree, regular lime tree, two mango trees, the tea tree (they make tea from it's leaves).  They grow ginger.  There's bunch of various herbs growing in misc. containers.  There's extra roof tiles, and a misc. pile of wood and some concrete blocks.   I'm sure that I'm missing a bunch of stuff too.

Here is a closer view of the misc. garden boxes and the horno off to the right... and don't miss the turkey at the bottom right.

And remember how this looked when we first moved in...

Here we are now.  There's still a lot of work to do, but progress is being made.  And I am proud to say that except for moving a few of the really heavy rocks I have done it all by myself!!
