Well, this is to provoke your thought. I understand that we live under different circumstances, and our preferences aren't necessarily the same.
For me, I'd really like to live my whole life on a farm like this with vegetables and animals around me. I might go to work in a city during the day, but in the night I want to listen to the sound of a dark silent night and be awaken by birds chirping outside my window.
I've experienced all these, and I don't want to miss a thing about them at all. :-)
I am not sure how it works out for the city people. There's so much noise and pollution in the city, which is totally a hell of mess sometimes. There's no place for a moment of serenity -- maybe there is, but I can hardly find one in the city. I am actually talking about a natural silence--not the artificial silence constructed by big cemented walls next to streets.

If I had one wish, that would be to be able to live with my family in that place. :-)

We're happy that finally the boys and girls have new houses. It is not cheap to make it done in Cambodia or anywhere else, I guess. Inflation is driving up. There certainly are many of them--we're looking for new houses for them.

The flowers can be pink, red, white or sometimes yellow. We used to have so many 10 o'clock flowers (ផ្កាម៉ោងដប់) at home, but not anymore. They can spread fast, but are very easy to get rid of when you want.
So those flowers posted above can be found at my home and some other Cambodians' homes as well. If you want, come and visit us at the Keo's farm house. You are welcome any time.
Recently, we had a stupa for our late grandmother erected southward. Cambodians believe that stupas are occupied by spirits we want to honor. Our mother wants to forever remember the good that our grandmother had done for her and her other siblings.
I dare say nearly 100% of Cambodian farmers are still in deep belief of animism, karma, superstition and all that that which the Westerners would shrug off.

Aren't these rabbits cute? Don't ever think of eating them. We don't eat our own pets! Buy one for yourself.
Currently we have about 50 big rabbits in the house. Please don't ask
me why there are so many rabbits. Maybe you guys are familiar with
this English expression: "Breed like rabbits." Hehe.

Wanna know what a Cambodian farm looks like? You've come to the right blog. Almost 80% of the whole population are farmers, and you know what I'm going to say. The rest of the population of about 20% like eating more than growing.
We are a family of 9 people. Our parents have always been farmers, and they certainly have green thumbs. It's obvious that we have inherited their love for plants, vegetables as well as animals.
We used to grow a lot of green leaved vegetables in
our garden. Sometime in 2011, we grew a big field of Khmer corn.
Since 2010, our business has been switched to raising animals. Keep coming back to this blog to see pictures of a Cambodian farm.
