I am fascinated by these old, abandoned buildings that used to be homes…

You and I both. The landscape is dotted with them. Reminders of our temporary nature.

As long as the roof isn’t leaking I could live there too. Just need a some quiet, and a place to sit.

These are always a little sad – I see someone once flew a flag speaking of ‘memories in the wind’.

Good eye Carol. They are a little sad and also a bit intriguing, me thinks. The flag and that yard would have made for good 4th of July celebrations.

I’m good with a family living happily ever after. It does happen, so why not here. Let’s go with three generations of this family having lived in this home producing children who were well loved and emotionally nourished. Laughter, joy, and good health were in abundance.

Nice one Mike…there is a certain sadness about these old buildings – they were once peoples homes where their hopes and dreams lived too.

Perhaps that family lived a happy long life and leaving that home was a natural transition to whatever came next.

Lets hope so 🙂

Very nice looking home. Must be a recent abandon judging by the quality of wood over the windows and doorway. The other part is the phone box on the side of the house hinting at a recent abandon. CenturyLink, formerly Qwest, formerly US West, tried to transition a lot of older homes to the boxes when service calls were made.

Very keen eye, David. There is also a barn type of building on this property that is in very decent shape, suggesting that you are indeed correct, and the house was not long ago occupied.

Thank you. I used to fence in college.

I’ve been a recreational fencer for many years — I’ve fallen out of the habit of it for the last few, although it remains as my nom de plume. I have the urge to get back to it and surprise a few young whippersnappers even though I’m in my sixties….

I’m soon to be 66 and my fencing days were long ago. But I bet I could pick up a foil and still do well with it.

What a cute home that must have been. Add a porch swing and a dog and I’d be there in an heartbeat. There was actually a very similar home along a country road where I used to live. I snooped in once with a friend. The interior doors were so nice. Just sitting there waiting for a rescue. I didn’t know who to contact and they’re probably still there.

In New York, where I grew up, a car left on the side of the road would be picked bare in a day. That is not the case in Colorado where a vacant home, or car, will sit forever until the elements tear it down or the new owners do.

It looks like it is closed up pretty well, but you are right, the inside would be a time capsule.
