It is about 15 miles to our local Walmart. Took the back roads this morning which is about five miles more. So much prettier. .jpg) .jpg)

Old abandoned Texas houses have always casted a spell over me. I think about what it must have been like for the woman who lived there. Such a tiny house in your picture. Her life must have been a hard one. Hope she had a few flowers next to the front porch that she watered with the dish water.
Thanks Patsy for sharing the picture with us and giving me a chance to let my imagination go down that back road with you.

I agree with you Sara. Whenever I see these old abandoned houses, I always wonder who lived there and how many children they had and did they have enough to eat. So many stories locked up in those beams!

Love the back roads!! We don't have many abandoned houses around here, but there are lots of barns that aren't being used any more. I always wonder what it must have looked like "back when..."

I love this photo ! I love old cabins, I always have. Sometimes I think I should've been born in another time period, lol!
Where I used to live,a rural desert area in Ca...... there was a homesteading act in the 50s to get people to come there.......build a small structure and the 5 acres were free. Soooo many little cabins and shacks were still standing. Was fun to see and wonder who, what etc.
When the push for real estate boom came in with all those fraud home loans these cabins were pretty much all demolished for very huge 'city type' homes. Then the financial crash came and these huge homes sit vacant now.
Patsy, it sure looks beautiful where you live..... I think I would want to take the back road drive all the time!
Have a good day, everyone :)
Blessings,
Linda

Patsy, what a lovely little cabin! There are plenty of back roads where I live, but I hardly ever see old little structures like that. I think it's because there's so much farm land that the farmers tear down anything that is no longer useful. When I first moved into my country house a few years ago, there was a big red barn across the street that was no longer attached to a house, and just stood by itself. I loved to look at it out our front window, and it was very useful when people were coming to visit us for the first time. We would tell them our house was right across the road from the lonely red barn. We had a birthday party on a Saturday in December a couple years ago and we woke up to a crew across the street bulldozing it and burning it in a giant hole in the ground. I was so sad. I know the farmers want to get as much planted as they can, but it still made me sad.

I love all of the comments. Makes me want to go look for more old structures. Does anyone have any pictures of back roads?
