Just Around the Corner

Just around the corner from our house you will see this one, and many others just like it.  It is almost as though the neighborhood grew around them and their farms of yesteryear.  As we learn the dynamics of the different families in our neighborhood, it is interesting to learn that usually the "founding fathers" live in the old, wooden homes while their children live right next door in nicer, newer, brick or concrete homes.  The home above presumably has dirt floors and a fire pit in the middle of the house for cooking.  There is no chimney either...the smoke just wafts up through the ceiling and through the tile roof.  They say it helps keep the bugs down.
