The goat house and the goats, hoping to see someone with a pan of compost but instead saw a woman with a camera.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n MORNING BIRDS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Greeting the warm sunshine of a brand new day on Dr. J. G. Wood Lane. The evenings have been cool and the mornings chilly in Kumasi just 6 degrees north of the equator. The temperatures have consistently been ten degrees cooler than the temperatures in PIttsboro, North Carolina at 36 degrees north<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n WATER COMING AND GOING<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The stream and the drainage ditch on Robteng between our house and Atinga Junction where people go to catch the tro.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n DOGS AND GODS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Three dogs curled into a sandpile for warmth just down the street from the St. Michaels Catholic Church. The Catholics believe in one god that is represented by three entities. Worthy of note is the precarious water tank stand to the left of the church which is wider at the top than at the base. It’s a miracle that it has not toppled over. More evidence that faith works in mysterious ways.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n NEIGHBORHOOD STORES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Dimples on Robteng and Akosua’s on Dr. J. G Wood, are two shops which supply us with internet time, pasta, juice, rice, sugar, soap, wine, bread, cocoa mix, onions and eggs. You may notice there are two signs above Dimples and that one of them says Mimples. When Camille asked Daniel which was the name of his shop he said “Dimples, the other sign was a computer error.”\u00a0Mary stands behind the counter. She always has a kind word to say as do the folks at Dimples. We love that we can walk a couple of doors down and pick up onions or eggs for the house.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n BACK ON OUR STREET<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n A fruiting oil palm and a nice view of the house across the street.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n DOWNTOWN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Ghana Armed Forces Museum and the Bank of Ghana.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n FROM LOGS TO FURNITURE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We often see trucks laden with immense logs like these which isn’t surprising because\u00a0Ghana’s main exports are gold, cocoa beans and timber products. We have furnished our home with chairs and stools like the ones in this picture.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THREE P’S – PLASTIC, POLLUTION AND POPULATION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n It’s hard not to get upset with the level of pollution we’re finding here, a malady created by the arrival of plastic to a heavily populated area with a poor\u00a0economy. We cross the Abooabo River on our way to High School Junction going south on the Lake Road to Bosumtwi.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n MORE LIZARDS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n They are everywhere and Camille has a weakness for photographing them. The handsome Agama lizard was found at the Cultural Center and the long-fingered lizard on the KNUST campus.<\/span><\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/p>\n An early morning stroll around Adiebeba with the new camera on August 9th, 2012 and some other scenes from around town. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n OUR BACK YARD<\/p>\n \n The goat house and the goats, hoping to see someone with a pan of compost but instead saw […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1107,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sub-story","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1099"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1390,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099\/revisions\/1390"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/troutsfarmtoo.com\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/20120809GoatHouse.jpg\" "\\"20120809GoatHouse\\"")
