A photo tour of our yard

Here is the outside of our place...I stood in the middle of the upper part of our property and took pictures turning a bit to the right with each one until I made a full circle, Phil tried to stitch them together for a panorama, but it didn't work...

The house. There are stairs leading down to the lower part of the yard right there.

You can't see it from here, but our little garden is way down there in the bottom left corner of our property.

In this picture you can see one of our lemon and one of our mango trees. You can also see Evelyn and Jessy racing to the swing!

There's another set of stairs leading down to the yard just there.

Our gate.

The "boy's quarters". Jen and Jessy live in the far right room (with the pretty door covering), and Otim lives in the far left one.

And we have come full circle. That's our garage that is packed to the gills with wood - 12x1 planks. You can't buy cured wood here, so you have to buy your wood (for construction) months in advance and dry it yourself. This is all for the youth center Phil is building.

We also have a nice area behind our house with a clothes line. We don't have a washer or drier...all the clothes are done by hand and then have to be ironed (even our socks!) to kill mango fly eggs. Jen is an amazing example to me of a diligent, cheerful worker. She is becoming a fast friend, and has also recently started giving me language lessons! She was thrilled tonight when she left and I said "goodnight" to her in Luganda..."Sula bulungi!"
