The houses were built at the far end of the yard. Near by the houses were arranged the sheds, the sheep pen and the cattle-sheds, and in front of them – the granaries. The rich peasants possessed barns, and the gardens appeared rarely. During the summer, the yards became overgrown with weeds, crab-plums, pears, apples, elm-trees and acacia-trees. If you watch from a distance you could see that the village looks like a wild woodland. Despite the presence of stone in the yards, there were not stone paths in the yards, around the foundations of the houses and the granaries excepted.
