Behold my hut, my farmhouse

A view of my farmhouse from a distance. I took the photo during lunchbreak as I was taking a stroll in my maize farm

I have finally decided to share a rare photo of my farmhouse. I am sorry I took it from a distance, but I have no doubt it is visible. It is a simple hut, about six square meters and has grass thatched roof. That’s where I live! It is cool during the day and warm in most nights. Its door is on the side you can see a number of trees. Under those trees are my birds (chicken). I love taking meals under the trees, whenever I am eating at home as it gives me a chance to feed the birds as I also eat. You can also see some maize in the farm, I just planted a little; remember I spared most of the parts for sugarcane, fruits and vegetable, whose demand is higher than that of maize. I hope you liked the little farmhouse! Maybe in future I may share more photos. Enjoy your time!

That is my idea of peace and quiet. Chickens are good birds to keep if only for the eggs they lay. We eat a lot of chicken. I would enjoy seeing more photos of your farm and farmhouse

Thank you. It is in deed a very quiet and peaceful place. The only bad thing in there is loneliness. But I have learnt to live with it. I lost my daughter last year and we had separated with my wife about four years before.

@SIDIKIMPOLE Sorry about the loss of your daughter, that's itself would create a void. Loneliness would not suit me either as my wife and I have been together for 28 years.

@Ineeddentures That is great. But I is like I am getting used to it. I just keep myself busy. On the farm and cyber during the day and writing or reading at night till sleep drives me to bed..

How wonderful to have such property like that! Where I live, no one can grow that much corn/maize in their yards. Yes, I hope to see more photos sometime.

Sure, I will be sharing more and more. You mean it is hard for one to own such a huge property? That is a challenge you are giving me. I think I should thin of developing it, like create a recreation facility now that I cannot afford to add flats

Your little house looks lovely tucked in amongst the trees. It would be lovely sitting out having your meals amid the chickens.
