Julie and I went on one of our outings down dirt roads this morning. We hit some roads we have never been down and found this interesting little house. It is abandoned and in disrepair but it is evident that a great deal of creativity and love went into building it.
I wish I knew the story behind this home.
I can almost image a very excited family moving into their new house. I can see people working to make the yard attractive – creating a garden for their palace in the country. And most tragically, why was it abandoned with no one being able to take it over.

It must have been so lovely when it was lived in and cared for. Something must have happened to make the family abandon it. In its present state it has an enchanted look about it. 🙂

It really has a storybook look to it

I felt a disconnect when I got home and viewed my photos. When I got there it was very real, but the photos bring out the “storybook” look. Strange, huh?

That looks amazing. Great pictures. I feel inspired to write a story about this. Just finished working on a series. Maybe it’s time for a new one! 🙂

It had such a strange feel about it. Kind of like coming upon the gingerbread house of Hansel and Gretel.

Ah…perhaps it could be a prompt for a short story?!

That thought crossed my mind. I have never written fiction – except in the occasional white lie. 🙂

It does make you hungry for more knowing that it will be unlikely you will ever fill that void.
