After driving by it for 30 years, I finally asked hubby to pull over and let me take pictures. He did (but kept the engine running of course). As I approached the fence I saw a gate that you can't see from the road. It was enchanting.
Through the trees I zoomed in on an old yellow gas truck with a bullet hole in the windshield
A wagon full of vintage bottles
Citrus trees lining one end of the yard, garnished with bob wire
and an old plow sitting idle in the field
I'll have to go back when I can stay longer.
Maybe I'll knock on the door!
Or not.
Counting My Blessings,
Susy

I'm going down the road to Spiritual Sundays


it sounds like the donkey got traded in for some kind of art work, uh? Poor guy...Gates always arose my curiosity and I always want to know what's behind them...glad the dog didn't get after you while you were taking pictures....I love these kind of posts....
ReplyDeleteI love anything "artistic" and "studio". Always wanted one like this without the bullethole truck, and "bad dogs", hehe. You are actually braver than I. Yet, I would love to know what type of "art" is produced behind the door. It is a most charming, unique place.
ReplyDeleteI love driving back roads here in Wisconsin too, wouldn't you just love to know the story that goes with the houses and collections of things in the yard? Of course, then there is the biting dogs....beware!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the old gate! Great post!
ReplyDeleteHave been teaching on the fear of man the past few weeks and that is our main verse.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool door, and love the old truck!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. Great photo op. Be careful if you knock on the door. Dogs. Bad dogs.

Susy, this place is charming. I especially love the yellow truck. Thanks so much for your comment today. It means so much to me. hugs, olive
ReplyDeleteIt is good to trust in the Lord Susie.
ReplyDeleteGosh I reckon that place is worth exploring, wish I could with you. I has you wondering doesn't it? You never know? A little old lady may live there...LOL
Don't you love getting photos like that. Sort of like a detective. I would have made my hubby stop too. It only confirms what he already know about me. Gotta love the Bad Dogs sign. Makes me wonder if someone that knows wrote in "they bite". Love that door.
