A Fine Mess

Posted on January 27, 2015 by Mike

This must have been a fine log home at some point. Now it is sadly stuffed with junk.

  So funny, I was just talking to Pumpkin when I opened your comment. She is the queen of her universe which includes mommy and daddy and 100 stuffed animals. Also a big yard and a doggy door.
  Good morning to you, the lady Sue.

It wouldn’t take much neglect for this house to look like that! Great for pictures. Bad for living.

  The picture does not really reflect that there was junk piled inside from floor to ceiling. Who knows what might be crawling around in there.

Such a cute place though and I love how the fence has bowed.

  The fence is like gift wrapping for me. A bow, if you will.

  There isn’t room for all that junk AND people, I don’t think. Probably the whole house is just very old and forsaken.
  Thanks for the comment, Carol.

Love it Mike! It is sad because I agree with you it was probably a really beaut. Just want to know why the fence was built so close to the house? Maybe put there after the house was abandon? Anyway great textures and the picture simply pops. Very nice!
