The Farm

Sundays are quickly becoming routine. Usually in the morning, before it gets too hot (the high for today is 43 degrees), we head out to the "farm" which for us white people would be the "cottage". Lakshmi's mother (Bharati) has really out done herself and built up the place very nicely. It's a huge plot of land completely landscaped with a big house and fenced in by a stone wall. Lakshmi's dad (Ram) actually designed the entire thing... he's a retired architect. We usually go there just for the morning so that the dogs can get some exercise and because, unlike Delhi, it's very quite and tranquil. Great place to relax.

Rufus really enjoys the pond and Penny has plenty of squirrels to chase. As usual she's always getting into trouble. There's a small section of wall that's low enough for her to jump over, and there happens to be a pile of hay on the other side. Unfortunately, today after jumping over she was blocked from coming back because 2 cows had decided to go snack on the pile of hay. Another nice thing about the farm is that there a large vegetable garden and plenty of fruit trees. We tend to come home with a bag or 2 of fresh produce everytime.
