narrow path forward
There’s not a single thing here that says “welcome”…yet I stopped anyway. I had to.
(I mean that literally – we’d spotted this place a month earlier, on the way back home from a weekend trip with some friends but we drove right on by. But I didn’t forget it. I couldn’t forget it. So I did what I had to do.)

our faded love
You all know by now, I imagine, that it’s not uncommon for random song lyrics to land in my head when I am making photos. This time it was an old Bob Wills song, only redone by my friend Terri Hendrix, that took root.

Scallops
This old and vacant building had perhaps the best awning I’ve seen in my many years of awning observation.

Tired of your family? Try a loaner!
What a great idea! If your family has gotten on your very last nerve and the thought of even ten more minutes with them is more than you can stand – maybe this business can help! Apparently, they can loan out a new family to you. Come on – you know you want try.
(I do not know if they also offer permanent new-family placements, or if it’s a loan-only sort of operation.)

Americana
Oh, rural America, with your banners and flags and can-do spirit.
(I can actually only vouch for the banner and the flags.)
Historical Note: this was one of my first post-knee-surgery photos. I was using a cane, which was tethered to my left wrist. My camera was tethered to my right wrist. And I was walking down the middle of a brick street. My physical therapist would have been proud (let’s assume), as I was definitely making an effort to get back to my normal activities.
