4 Trees

Four randow trees. All in a row. Not in a tree museum. No dollar and a half charge just to see them.

Basement with a View

More of the forgotten farmhouse. Gotta love the double decker fireplace.

The Forgotten Farmhouse

More pictures of the old farmhouse. It's hard to believe that this was once a home. Full of rooms, full of life. From the outside it looks big. The limestone construction speaks to the fact the farmer was well off. But to see the hollow shell it's just hard to imagine the stairs to the second floor. The fireplace crackling and warming the house. 

I'm sure that deisel will be the end of this. Mother nature would be much slower.

Forgotten

Saturday's walkabout lead me to this old farm house. Long forgotten. All the wood is gone. The roof, most of the lathe on the walls, the addition out back, the barn. Everything. The old stone walls are a testament to craftsmanship. They'll be there forever.
