Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up”, but that is the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

A hot dry day, finally with Piglet with me in the car, I could park, and walk in off the road to take pictures. This little treasure had caught my eye some time ago, but it was never a good time to park off to the side of the busy roadway, and walk over to where this little house is.
The lot is big enough and shows signs of having had two outdoor “toilets” off to one side. There is also a bigger building, commercial from how it appears. but of course, I only had eyes for the two story charmer. The top has been removed from the ground floor, and placed as you see them. The small doorway is between the building, and has lost its door.
Someone at some time, had, intentions for this little “cottage” It would have been bright and welcoming inside with all those windows. I was surprised that the remains did not have a musty smell. The wood was dry and still had the smell that wood gets when it has been baking in the sun.
Rust has been working on the metal for some time. Building its many layers producing wonderful displays as only rust can. It is not very everyone, but textured materials, remnants of another time, another life, for me are inspiring.
Hope you have enjoyed this little visit to a place on an old road that once was the main highway to the city of Montreal, in the province of Quebec.

reminder, service is at 7 pm this evening.
Driving through the take out lane, I saw the fog was lifting. earlier, not even an hour or so, I could see only two car lengths in front of me
I was heading back towards the city now, with each passing mile, the sky got brighter
bright enough, that I thought to stop to take a picture. Usually I am driving by this site during the work day, and the road is just too busy. I may have mentioned that I have been wanting to get a picture before the whole building disappears. It has happened before, I am driving along a road I travel many times a week when suddenly I realize that a building has disappeared.
The world around me is in constant flux. For some reason, the demolition, began at a time that for whatever reason, I missed it. I happened to go to the post office one day (it is across from this location) and when I drove out, it was a “WOW when did that happen???” That was in the fall, and here it is February of the following year, and there it still stands.
I did see an opening in the fence. However, my common sense, held me in check. No hard hat, and not wearing my steel toed footwear. Maybe I’ll get a chance another day. LOL if I were to find rust I would be in 7th heaven.
This adventure took place last week, today, I am looking forward to what’s ahead.
PL Calendar 18 Â Â Look Forward to What’s Ahead.
There is no use brooding over the past. Always try to begin each day anew with a fresh outlook.
What a good teaching to start a new week. Hope everyone is enjoying a long week-end, and is revving up for a stunning brand new week.

To walk where no one has walked before
I wish, =^_^= but I was the one to make a new trail
down an unused road, that led me to another time
a family home, once filled with laughter
now stands silent, waiting
this was not the structure tho’ that had caught my attention
rather I was drawn to a building that called out
to my searching ” eyes”
“look, look, see my charm”, I got a picture in full sunlight
but this one with the little building half in the shade
I found had more to say
I sensed this is where the children played
on rainy days, on sunny days
this little structure captured and ignited
their imagination in every way
this pretty face
was also part of yesterday =^_^=
It was an amazing day !!!
In PL (Perfect Liberty) we do our best to live each day doing our best to be creative in every way. Make every day count, rain, snow, sunshine, it doesn’t matter. Do your best every day.

I’ve always enjoyed driving by this building, on this particular day, I was drawn to it, the sky behind, the sprinkle of snow…. it was eye-catching. It has a practical use I’m sure, never-the-less it was “king for the day” in my day of photo possibilities.
A moment in time capture in a lens, without the surrounding buildings, or traffic on the roads, it could be on a desolate patch of land, in an abandoned airport.. Loved it.. Hope you find it stirs your imaginations too.
Happy Thursday everyone… PL Precept # 2Â To Live is to Express One’s Self

Had to get a closer look. Â Around the block we drove, so I could really see t his entrance way to a church we saw along the way
Nice colours used in the stained glass…I like the simplicity of it.
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
This entrance was hidden, but I was determined to get  a closer look.  the building appealed to me, we are trying to get more information on it.  Hwy 3, NY State going towards Watertown.  It is not always easy getting the real estate people to call us back…
Some of you are really good at search and find, this is the real estate agent of note.. there was another sign, but it was long over grown with vegetation.
OK so it isn’t everyone’s idea of “turn-key” Â and it doesn’t have the greatest “curb appeal” Â To each his/her own, right.
I see a ton of possibility, AND it sets my mind to “dreaming” of what was, and what could be…
Never give up on your dreams. Â always look for the “something” that appeals to you. Â It isn’t about what others may want, it is what “speaks to you”

ps. I was feeling rather sluggish with the weather today, happy, but draggin.. then I started to work on this blog, sharing with you,  I was pulling out my pictures of this latest “find” of mine.  I couldn’t help it, my heart took wings, a smile as broad as my face plastered itself across my “pus”  this building makes me smile, what can I say, the old weathered wood, the placement of the windows on the second story, watching out on the busy hwy.
The building was at an intersection, the sign was really too faded to read, but we thought we saw the word mini.. could have been a convenience store. Â Certainly there was ample parking. Â Yeah life is good. =^_^=
Blessings of the day to everyone… May you find peace and happiness, and your smile shine like a beacon of light for all who meet up with you today.

We can only wonder at the creative mind that pulled this all together. Â what a hoot it must have been to drive up and meet the people here, possibly someone somewhere will know more about this location, and contact me. Â Meanwhile…. I enjoy the little surprises as i revisit the pictures.
Both my husband and our friend Syb, were reminded of Stephen King’s writing when they saw the pictures. I personally have not read a lot of Stephen King, what do you think?
I know Norm, I know, tomorrow is Thursday, but as you can see, this door from the building is very standard issue. the one that was super cool was the one at the front, where they drove cars in and out from.
Dorinda, Elusive, does this place inspire a storyline? Â Anyone from Maine that knows anything about this place.. I’d love to hear from you.
Always be open to new discoveries, and when you find a piece of history that speaks to you…. enjoy it!

a work of art

drawn like a moth to a flame
your silence called out to me
I knew, I needed a closer look
unlike in the books
my heart didn’t race
in fact, of emotion there was little  trace
just the desire to get closer
my steps were sure as if
as if, somehow I knew
we had met before
the years had aged you
 your tenants not always kind
there was not a blind
to hide your scarred and broken
parts inside.
you did your best,
you really did
sometimes, it really doesn’t matter
for life moves on
and you are left
not bare, but silent
the memories of what was
still visible on your face
you’ve left the door open
for what will be, will be
you’ve come this far
at night under the stars
you’ll sleep the gentle sleep
of one who has loved
knowing, love will always be
the sound of silence
is a living memory
love is never lost
love IS
