Six years on

Almost six years ago I posted a shot of this house here. It was moved from several miles away to this location.

Although it is now anchored onto a foundation its progress has been slow if you count the years. It’s gotten some paint here and there. A small tractor was moving soil around the day I took these shots. The house itself still looks unoccupied from here, though.

Lake Hogback

There’s a narrow road that goes up and over a ridge called Hogback. On its southern side it looks down into this broad, open expanse of land. At one time part of the area you see on the right had building lots for sale. But in a wet year like the one we’ve had the land floods. Eventually the water evaporates or the water table subsides enough to absorb it. So far this year there’s still plenty of flooding. The ducks are happy.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day for those of the Irish persuasion. Erin go bragh!
