He said that he wanted to see the inside, so yesterday, we stopped by for a visit!
It's pretty dilapidated though, so we couldn't go inside. Looks like the whole thing could come tumbling down!
I always thought you could make a coffee table book of old abandoned farm houses.
Somebody missing a boot?
Yep...it's pretty much time for the wrecking ball!

Meanwhile, our son Alex has been off exploring too! He's got the travel bug just like the rest of the family, and he's currently on a two week trip to Iceland and Norway.
Our son Alex, in Iceland.
Hopefully when he returns to Canada he'll put together a guest post for us all. We've been to Iceland, and it's got to be on of the most photogenic countries in the world. Amazing scenery!

A two pack of LED camping lanterns at Amazon.com, with batteries included! Pretty hard to go wrong for this price...
And in Canada, at Amazon.ca...
I always loved going to explore the "A-Bays" as we called the abandoned farms ... Many stories. I'm with Cameron, they are spooky!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are definitely a lot of these "spooky" abandoned farms all around Saskatchewan. People could have a field day here with them.
DeleteThat old boot would look great with a geranium growing in it...
ReplyDeleteWhen Lindsey told me about the old boot, I said they should have brought it back to the park and I would have planted flowers in it! :-)
DeleteThere are about 20 framed pictures in our hallway of abandoned farm houses that have been drawn in pencil from the Ottawa valley and Quebec.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing pictures in your hallway but never really noticed that they were of abandoned farm houses. Guess we will have to pay more attention next time we are there.
DeleteI enjoy photographing old country abanodn homes, but never go inside since I had a unforuntate run in with a snake who apparently thought it was only for its use.
ReplyDeleteYes, when you go in you never know what you may encounter!
DeleteOne of the other blogs I follow is Cities of Dust, which posts pictures and a little history of abandoned buildings and ghost towns in New Mexico.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cool blog. We love seeing old abandoned buildings and ghost towns. Our best yet was in Namibia. www.travelwithkevinandruth.com/2013/12/the-diamond-mining-ghost-town-of.html
DeleteYour header picture is spooky! Looks like that house has been around for a long time seeing the lath and plaster.
ReplyDeleteI would expect that it is one of the original settlers' houses from the early 1900's.
DeleteLove exploring old desert houses and barns make you wonderful what happened there.
ReplyDeleteYes it would be neat to know some of the stories that house could tell!
DeleteWe had a fabulous time in Iceland.
ReplyDeleteWe had a fantastic time there as well!
