We go through life with a certain plan in mind, thinking everything is headed in one direction, until you get blindsided and knocked off course. I fell on the ice on Christmas Eve, onto my prosthetic hip, making it necessary once again for me to use crutches (Deja vu; I was on crutches for six months straight in 2011).
My life has been tossed up in the air, waiting for doctors to decide to help me. Until then, I have to learn how to be patient. Last Saturday I tried out my new camera, crutches and all.
“You have been my friend,” replied Charlotte. “That in itself is a tremendous thing…after all, what’s a life anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die…By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.”
— E.B. White (Charlotte’s Web)

I love your work. I like abandoned houses as well i move to dodge ne and the country side is full of them. I havent gone into any by my new location. But if you ever come this was let me know and il gladly show you or tell you where these farm houses are.
Thanks, Ivy! That would be wonderful! I am always looking for new places. 🙂
Hi! I am looking for places to take rustic/farm pictures at..did you come across any places??
Yes all the time. Have you seen my Facebook and instagram accounts? Two-lane Highways any direction are the best to find them, and then country roads.
That white abanded house in this picture that’s in Washington county I’ve always had my eye on it do you know if it’s for sale at all?
I spoke to a neighbor at one point, if you look at my latest link about the house I go into detail about the house. He said the owner had rented the house out and one day the tenant left and never came back. I don’t know why or why the guy never rented it again, but the house is still full of furniture, and even has a car in the barn. There’s a jacket on the hook by the door and a tea kettle on the stove. It’s strange. So it might be?
