By the time you see this photo, the building will be gone.

The Patient Spouse was driving me around the other morning and we happened to go by this school building that was in the early stages of demolition (making way for a newer, fancier, bigger facility). The worker approached me and asked if I’d like to look around inside. That was exactly the opposite of what I thought he was going to say, but I did happily accept his offer.

State Bound – how exciting!

Wow! State bound!! How exciting. I only hope their efforts ended on a happier note than these businesses did.

it had been a wet spring

The mud around this abandoned building (a school? a church?) was formidable, and after consideration of the mess that would be involved, I marked further exploration of this place as “come back when it’s dry.” And, as a sort of a consolation prize, I photographed the flowers instead.

I know: a poor substitute for what I was really after. But it was the best I could do that day.

This is saddest baseball field that I’ve ever seen.

gas/poison

It’s scenic out here, only maybe not in a traditional way. Oh, and also? Watch for poison gas, and poisonous snakes, too.
