little house on the prairie.....


it's not really a little house. it's a log cabin.
it's not really on a prairie. it's on a huge lot with overgrown pine trees.


and
it's for sale


we don't want the log cabin
but the land would be amazing


it sits far off the beaten path
so every now and then we stop by
just to visit


the cabin really needs to be pushed over and made into firewood
but 
the handmade porch with the tree growing in the middle of it is pretty sweet


even with our miserable spring
life is growing at the neglected cabin


{does anyone else see a heart in the flowers above}


funny isn't it
how plants grow and make us feel alive
even when deep down 
we feel a bit stunted 
from what winters left behind

  15. I can't believe you are saying there is an old log cabin on your potential property that you don't want! You are the old building photo queen. Of course, different to shoot one than be in it! Lovely images, beth. (We have sun today!)

  16. I had to post another comment because you'll never believe it. My verification word was cabio. Close!

  17. OK -- the last one was "micro." Is it a "Micro Cabio?"

    OK -- no matter what the word, I'll stop now!

  18. So true... but I am still feeling the aliveness in that first picture- oh my drooling over the color and composition of it and yes, I see why that piece of land would satisfy all in itself... sigh...

  19. Yes, and it's a very good thing they do.
    Love seeing these signs of Spring!

  20. I see the heart! You have some really nice shots here!

    Spring always gets me in trouble as I tackle all those projects I've been thinking about all winter. I'll probably hear "You know you shouldn't be doing that with your messed up back!" times a week but it just feels so good to get out of the house! I see the heart!

  21. ooooo! I see the heart. It's like those hidden pictures my daughter gets.... but better! thanks for sharing such gorgeous shots; you should buy the land.... then we can all come visit :)

  22. Just Beautiful.. Give me a log home and Id fix it up and the land. Wow your flowers are just stunning. So glad to be along.

  23. ...I certainly did see the heart! Love the potos and I can't blame you for falling in love with the place! Great porch!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I would love a place like that...OMG...the land! Gorgeous photos my dear!

  25. Everyone needs their own little piece of heaven! It would be so rewarding to make this yours don't you think? Real estate is still a solad investment( don't cut your throat with high payments) The sacrafices are sooooo worth it!..Go-4-IT, I say !___=^..^=___Kittie

  28. oh Beth, I wanna sit on that deck with you....such BEaUtiful shots

  29. What a beautiful site. Your flower captures are lovely. In n. WI, spring is being a bit more elusive. Things aren't flowering here, but there are buds :)

  30. I love how they built around the tree instead of chopping it down to use as building material! True tree huggers, for sure. :)
