Beautiful work. I always wonder about the families who once lived in these abandoned homes--if only walls could really talk. L/F
Kelly Mills replied:
Thank you Mark....There were 8 children living in this home. One of them I knew personally and she died 5 years ago at the age of 90yrs. I'm sure the walls were screaming with joy in this home!

Yes Doug, this one I happened to know the person very well and there is a lot of history in this old building! Thank you

Kelly, I am quite fond of old wooden structures that have survived their original purposes—left to rest like grave markers—they serve as a reminder of the people who built and used them as shelters for themselves, livestock, machinery and supplies. You have done a magnificent job at preserving these prairie treasures for future generations to remember… long after the winds of time has finished its slow, steady work. L/V&F
