Our lovely neighbour, Mrs. T, has been teaching the girls Art. One of their assignments was to take photos of their environment.

So, here are a few of the things which make up our environment:

Pigs. Yep. Lots of pigs. They are stinky and noisy and when they are getting butchered it is one of the creepiest sounds in the world. But- they are also a great money-maker and the meat is delicious, which is why so many of our friends here own them!




Flowers. Lots and lots of beautiful flowers. If you grow Calla Lilies, you can sell them to the flower-buyer for a peso each!




Houses. The houses here look different to the homes in the states, but it’s what our kids are used too. All the homes here have a kitchen with a fire ‘shelf’ for cooking. Most have a porch, a small outhouse out the back and a fence around the yard. Some floors are dirt, some are cement and some are split bamboo (that’s my favorite, you can just sweep the dirt right through the cracks!).




And of course, their environment wouldn’t be complete without a picture of their own home. The longest our family has ever lived in one place. A house we love, full of memories and all things ‘Moffit’.
