Pictures of the old homesteads...

This is the big blue house. It is no longer blue. Over the years it has been gray, brown and now, yellow. It is amazing how homesick I get when I look at it. The townhomes next door are new, they were not there back then. It was an empty lot.







This is the "farm". This house is new, whoever bought the property had to tear down both the house and the barn. Note how far away our nearest neighbors were, off to the far right. It was like living on another planet sometimes, especially during the high school days. The house is in the same place as the old one, except it is a bit bigger. They took down my beloved tree, that was directly to the right of the house.


This is another view of the farm. Notice the creek that runs along the side of the house, along the property to the road. It was so peaceful here. I didn't ever appreciate how peaceful until now.
