Just a Look Around

A view around our house.
The "grass" is almost all rice.

How work gets done around here.
Our neighbor is working on finishing the second floor of his house. Today the concrete truck came.
Once it is unloaded it needs to be taken to the house.
A bag or two at a time.
This is the house being worked on.
Here is a close up of a real concrete "truck".
This is the "road".

Of course there are domestic tasks also. We are fortunate enough to have a washing machine, but like everyone else, we still hang it to dry.
But laundry can also be decorative.

Note how it adds festive color and design all around the neighborhood...




The animals can even be counted on to help with daily chores. For instance, this dog offered to take our garbage for us.


THE END

  1. Hi,

    Had been enjoying much and laughing going over your blogs, the photos speak a lot about what you are experiencing as well as being Filipinos and Americanos at the same time. May God continue to let you enjoy being here in Bontoc

  7. Loved the pictures! I'm happy you have a washer but really wanted to see you and the girls down by the river doing the laundry. The view from your home looks great wish I was there. LOve Mom

  8. Mom,
    All you need to be here is a passport and a plane ticket. Visitors are welcome!

  9. Often the river looks like a huge mud puddle so I'm not sure how clean the clothes would be! Also meals (market, prep, clean-up) take up enough of our time...Very thankful for our washing machine.
