Mom and dad outside the house at night.  In the evening it is much cooler and people often sit outside to experience thewelcomed cool  breeze 


This is how you sweep the grounds at the back of my dad's house. The grounds outside the house is referred to as the compound. Aunty Mauareen explained that you use the branch from the tree in the grounds to sweep.
