There is a singer that I met at a local Scottish Highland Games - Colin Grant-Adams. He wrote a lovely song called "Old House by the Roadside" that matches your thoughts perfectly. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Yep... Me too. I'm on Insta*gram and follow a bunch of photogs who visit abandoned buildings, factories, hospitals, psych wards and homes, and it is fascinating... yet spooky at the same time. I'm always left with the sounds, echoes and images — of what THOSE places must have been like when they were alive! The hospitals are ESPECIALLY creepy. 🤔❗❗😎 ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

I do not think that I have seen a gambrel roof house before. Barns, yes, houses? Just an odd observation. The ingenuity of the farmer has also been the downfall of the nineteenth and mid twentieth century rural lifestyle. The infernal combustion engine is the largest culprit. And I did not have fat fingers for infernal, I did it on purpose. The dream lived for maybe another generation after the homestead was abandoned, but the second generation probably has dreams that do not include working the land, and the third knows almost nothing of the dream.

What an interesting old prairie home, and some great questions would love to know the answers to them. I bet this home was beautiful back in the day. Dreams are what life is made of my friend, and I hope you enjoy a Happy Friday and a great weekend, stay safe and take care..  Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

There are old farm houses where I live that are abandoned like this... I've always wondered the same stuff. How is it that they just become.... abandoned?
