Friday Date

My husband and I have been trying to take every Friday and go on a date for the day.  Usually it is breakfast and a drive through the countryside.  We try to take off a different direction, a road we haven't been down before, or a little town we haven't seen yet.   I love to take pictures and what's is down the road and of course we look for little junk stores to see what we can find (and I usually find something).

This week I saw a little house that just caught my eye.  It always breaks my heart to see a house empty.  I always wonder how it looked when someone lived there.  And how excited maybe a man and his wife and children were the first day they moved into their new home.  I used to know a poem about just this and I think about it every time I see something like this.

 What a cute little house.  

Even empty I love the mossy green color that it has take on with age.

In our part of the country they are bringing in the harvest and the colors of the grains are unbelievable.

It is opening day for pheasant hunting season and my boys will be home soon hungry for supper so I had better get busy on the mashed potatoes for supper...enjoy.
