An old shed harbors intrigue and mystery. Inside, one can see ancient glassware while other treasures lurk in the shadows.

We were in Casper a few weeks ago. My husband is a bishop and we have a church on 10th Avenue and 11 th Street. It’s an old victorian house/church. The priest died so we are here, taking care of things. We’ll be here for a few months I think.

Greeley has a few churches. Small world.

It’s really a small world. Come over to church on Sunday, if you want. St. Gabriel’s Archangel Church. They were going to close down the church, but he came and is now so busy with ministry, especially reaching out to the hispanics. So, now, we can’t leave. He has too many people coming to the church for sacraments or other needs. Hoping to get another priest here, but it’s not looking too hopeful. But, I do like Greeley.

Holly, I’ll take a pass on coming to church. I like Greeley too. Second time living here, went to college here in a prior life.

Have never seen a quonset hut constructed of wood, with siding…most unusual, but I guess any heavy snow would fall right off?
Loving this shot, Mike…the high rez shows every peeling detail. Interesting that the glass is in good shape; maybe the hut/shed is still in use (in spite of the missing lock)…what say you, yonder boy?

That is a clever observation about snow that would slide off. But I don’t think these places get any more snow than you do in Chicago, so I don’t know. I do know it is so crazy hot and dry here and the mountains are on fire and its very early in the fire season.
The hut may well still be in use, nameless one.

I spoke with a friend yesterday who is original a Coloradan. Her boyfriend was up at Green Mountain Falls for some sort of ‘quintathalon’, which got cancelled due to the fires. Haven’t found too many stories on the net, but she was told the Green Mountain and Garden of the Gods fires were arson.

Always, it’s glass being shown in the window, because it gleams, or a plant, or something precious. One of these days I would love to see a window with, oh, I don’t know, cleaning supplies in a plastic bin. That’s precious, right? 🙂
I do love the round shed. It’s quite unique and has that wonderful weathered look.

Hello, and thank you. We are safe from any fire danger, except for breathing the smoke, which is an irritant. We are 30 miles east of the foot hills and in relative safety.
If I thought that hut would transport me in time, I would have broken in, trust me on that. If I ever get back up to Saratoga, Wyoming again I will follow up. Nice to have your cool comment. Stay well.
