Crops creeping ever closer

As I stood in the stubbled field to get this shot, I had the feeling that with each growing season, the crops got a little closer to this building, and that one day, it would be all crop and no building.

(You’ve seen this building before.)

The Homestead

010315

My 75-miles-per-hour glimpse of this place gave me the impression that it was an abandoned church.

I drove three or four more miles before there was a place to turn around, so I could go back and check it out.

It was a farmhouse, with a garage/shop around back – some broken dreams. To be honest, I’m not quite sure why I thought it was a church. But either way, it was worth the few additional miles that day.
