Our yard

Here are a few pictures of our yard where the boys and I spend a good deal of time every morning. Our house is the top floor of this structure (another home has the bottom floor) and our yard begins at the road and extends down the side of this house to the back.


Here is the opposite view where you can see our gate.


We planted some tomatoes, mint, citronella grass, pineapple and a pepper plant in a space right beside the driveway. It is really fun to have this little space to get our hands in the earth even living right here in the middle of the city.


Toward the back of our yard, there is a cement overhang and a small little room called a "dependencia" where our security guards hang out at night as they are watching our house. To the right of the little grassy space there are several fruit trees including papaya, avocado, lemon, and here you can see the guava tree.


These are the stairs that lead up to our floor.

We've been busy since returning to Germany, and I've just now gotten the chance to look into your blog. What a pleasant surprise to see some very interesting and entertaining blogs. You do such a good job on them, Sharon! Mmmmm, that peanut butter looks delicious! And we now have a better "picture" in our minds of where you are now. Lord bless you all. We love you so much!
