rule breaker...

the sign on the rusty gate said "no trespassing" so i climbed over it. the sign on the tree said "keep out" which i did. this time. only because there wasn't a sign saying "there are mosquitos the size of lap dogs surrounding this property and they will take you down"
~
that i figured out all on my own
~
so
guess where i'm going in a few weeks
once i've confirmed that the lap dog sized mosquitos have been muzzled
and
put away for the year
~
gosh how i love to have something to look forward to

You sassy, daring, mischievous lady! I love it! Take me with you! Is this property outside of Evansville? If not, there's one very similar there.
What fun!

there are two places on the way to where I often drive..
one is charred ruins of a fire, the other is an abandoned barn.
every time I go by , I think of you, think , okay, I'm going in...

:)
I'll dedicate the post to you when I do . I will.

I love that building and completely understand your breaking the rules to check it out further.

Your blog's title is one of my favorite sayings. I am a fan of all of us being ourselves fully and in my later years--69 at the moment--I find that it becomes even more vital to dive deep and fly out into who I am with zest, gusto, appreciation, joy, ecstasy, etc.

Oh, oh, oh - take me! I love old buildings and this one seems enticing. I always love imagining what they once were and what they could be with lots of money poured into them. This is a beauty and I can't wait till you visit again. There is a place in Kansas I always wanted to explore. Each time I have seen it, more has fallen to the ground now. It is so sad to see these beauties dissolve into the ground.

Karen said...

OOOOH, I can't wait!!

Pamela Holderman said...

Great looking building. I would have done exactly what you did. I have found the neatest structures and hideouts just exploring.

There seems to be something so tempting about those 'no trespassing' signs isn't there? You just know there's going to be something good there! What a beautiful building...I'm in!

You find the most interesting structures in your area. And yes, that's definitely something to look forward to. Waiting for those inside shots.

Marcie said...

When it comes to getting the images I want - I pay no attention to the rules or what the signs say. Looks like a wonderful old building!

Angie said...

What an awesome house!!! I would love to go explore that one...and to find out the history of it...why no one is living there, loving it now...

deb did it said...

I'll bring along some geranium and citronella, a picnic basket and bottle of wine...we will have a feast, NOT the Texas sized mosquitoes!

Relyn said...

Oh my. This house is just begging me to buy it and lavish loving attention on it. I could live there - happily forever after.

Hilary said...

Fun.. I hope you'll bring a camera.. with video capabilities! :)

Take me with you :)
Around here, we have old dump sites from homesteads. My favorite thing to do is find an old cabin, great dumpsite, and just spend a day digging for old time treasure.
Watch the ground and the corners, you could find some fascinating things!
