Southeastern Ohio, USA

The house where my mother-in-law grew up with her 4 brothers and where my husband would venture into his grandmothers kitchen to decide whether he'd eat dinner there or his own house across the field (depending on which meal he liked better!)
Where Uncle Jack the veterinarian doctored animals and patched humans at their own risk.
and where is dad and other men gathered to catch a cool drink in the little store on the property.
Perhaps after having delivered milk to the local shops and residents of the nearby town.
The old Zane's Trace running through the property still struggles to make itself evident amid heavy overgrowth.
I captured several old perennials years ago and they now reside in my garden in Cleveland.
I wish I could capture this place in it's prime.
We wish you well and a rebirth with new owners.
Oh, my ... so poignant. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis article reminded me of a movie I watched recently with Geraldine Paige...Trip to Bountiful. I'm not much on revisiting places I have loved because if the people I loved aren't there it's kind of hollow. I hold those places from the past in my heart in their forever perfection. I wish the places you mentioned new life and new memories.
