"Abandoned House Continued" Personal Page by craic

I've never see the house from this angle before.

The barn is in better condition than the house.
Bales of this season's hay stacked high.

I stepped inside the house.
It felt like tresspassing.
But I trespassed.

What is left of the kitchen.
The old stove where they cooked their meals.

The front bedroom.
The ceiling is caving in.
Not a quick death by fire for this house
but a slow, lingering disintegration.

As far as I can guess this is an apple grader.
After people stopped living here
they used it to store equipment.

One last look out of the window towards the road.
So as I pass by I know what the reverse angle is.

The finial is gone.
Probably white cockatoos.
They love to chew on finials.

I don't know this yet but next year
the persimmmon tree will be laden with fruit.
