This is the oldest home in Wakeshma Township - the single story is the first log cabin; re-sided to match the two-story addition that was needed because it's pretty hard to live in about 500 square feet of cabin space, and raise a family.
This drive; 1000 feet of 'walking path' - was what all of us kids walked up each day to the school-bus (and another 1/4 mile down the road to reach the bus pick-up station). Each night after riding over an hour on the bus, we were 'let off', to walk it again - kept our legs strong; our faces rosey from the cold winter winds.
The colors of these photos are peaceful - they remind me of what a farmer once contributed to not only his family, but to this country - the USA. I miss those individual farms; possibly the farmer has an easier way of life now, but I guess I'm still 'wish-ful' thinking that the joy of feeding yourself and sharing the produce with the rest of your neighbors, must have given each farmer and his wife, a great deal of pride.
I love this farm; Breezy says she does too - she tells me of her many happy memories on the farm.
