Dusk


We took the opportunity of evening light and mild air enticed us out to walk. A new market nearby, a little different variety, we wandered there a while, and back home. We've wondered for a very long time about this pink, long abandoned house. This is not a derelict area of town, this property has to be valuable. We speculate that it's designated "historical" making the cost of renovation prohibitive. Or there's a disputed title because of a family fighting over a will. No way to know, nothing in the public record.



The other side of neon.

That is a sad sight-and it is a real house too

It is nice when the spring weather can draw one out.

Lovely evening stroll.

The evening walks are getting better and better. Spring is coming.

Sad about the house, but it makes an interesting photo.

We drove by this place today, and there was a fire crew there. Apparently not a fire. We walked by later, and there was a notice up, about it being boarded up, and the license for that having expired (as far as I could understand the legal verbiage.)

Thing is, I joked yesterday that the only way to fix it would be to fire bomb it. So when we saw the fire truck, I told D, "I didn't do it, I swear!"

Lovely evening light in those photos, it's obvious why you were enticed out for a walk. Hard not to be when it's like that. Spring is trying to break through here, too.

Ah, if only that old house could tell you its story!
