This is a picture of my summer house in Prohorovka. I go there every summer and very often in winter. My grandparents live there and they are very happy every time we visit them.

On the foreground yOu can see a big fence of green color that is about three meters high. Near the gate we have to big brown benches. Very often we sit there in the evenings and chat with the neighbors and friends.

The center of the picture is our house and the orchard. You can see the yard clearly because my cousin climbed up the tree opposite the gate and made a photo from above. The house is big, with five rooms and the kitchen. It was build 32 years ago by my grandfather. Very often many of our relatives visit the place and we have a very good time together!

On the right, there are three apple trees, two pear trees, three cherries and one peach tree. When my granddad planted the peach tree three years ago, we thought

it would never take root, but it did! Last summer we had the first fruit and they were so tasty!

On the left, you can see a big nut tree. I like eating them when they are young and my granny makes the most delicious nut jam in the world! It's a long and complicated process, but the result is worth it! Beside the tree, there's a garage and a small barnyard. My grandparents keep some hens, two pigs and a she-goat. And there's an Alsatian named Bucks to guard them all.

I love our summer house very much and would like to have the one of my own some time later!
