Sunday Drive

A drive around my neighborhood.
Abandoned Farmstead
In the small stand of trees to the right is the abandoned house, and the white rectangle is the old barn; trying to hold it together against the elements.
Abandoned farmsteads are common around here, most settled during the “160-acre free land to homesteaders” in the west. Sometimes only the foundations remain or a windmill, but many do have a visible house and barn. The stories that they must have…
Typical spring day here – crazy big white clouds, blue sky, and green-green-green as far as the eye can see. My favorite time of year. Mid to late June is when the wheat and barley start getting streaks of gold, then the greeness is all over. Golden waves of grain is pretty and all, but I love the green.
