The last time I visited Grandma’s Garden was in May, her vegetables have grown since then. I didn’t get to take many photos, it threatened to rain while I was shooting video and then the sky opened up. It was thunder and lighting and I didn’t think it would be ideal to use the rainsleeve on my camera, certainly don’t want to get struck by lightning.

I like the telephoto lens for the composition and in this case it compresses the background to make it look nice and tidy.

You know natural farm raise eggs are expensive- 1 carton of eggs are $3.00 where I lived and they are just plain brown egg not the pretty color one you have.
Hi Salalao, I think she sells hers for $2.50 per carton, and gives vegetables from her garden away also. She didn’t price them very well. When we visit her we always bring back fresh eggs for my dad and sisters since they like them also.
This is what I plan to do when I retire from work… Move back to Laos, raise and grow my own foods :-).
Grandma must be busy everyday tending to her animals and garden.
seeharhed, you need to start living that life now, gardening might not be so bad in your backyard but not sure about raising chicken. It’s nice to be able to grow your own food and I finally feel comfortable calling myself a gardener. 🙂
Grandma, and grandpa are both busy, and I think they enjoy working in the garden and caring for the chickens. Life after retirement can be depressed if you don’t keep yourself busy. I guess you need to save up, Laos is getting expensive you know.
