Windows





This building is on the road going down to Wayland Baptist Church,







which is where I sometimes park my car to go jogging.







By the way, I'd better start getting serious about the jogging. Baby Sis,  Mental P Mama, and I are signed up for a half-marathon (13-ish miles) in November.   Ann Marie is doing the full marathon! That's like more than  26 a thousand miles!  Since roller skating is an unacceptable means of participating (I checked), I really need to get serious about this running business.








Anyway.








After a recent four-mile jog, I stopped here to snap a few shots, even though I've taken this building's portrait many, many times before.








These days I'm way more paranoid than usual a little paranoid about buildings being torn down, since several of my favorites recently succumbed to a bulldozer.








As a matter of fact, a farmhouse right across Route 14 from this particular structure was razed shortly before I took these pictures.








Sherlock Holmes I figured out what was happening when, over the course of a week or so, I noticed the preparations, which included the removal of all the windows; trimming and removal of nearby trees; and the telltale sign:  a bulldozer precariously close to the house.

So, although I've previously posted pictures very similar of this very structure, I'm not ashamed to share more.

Because you just never know when this place will be gone for good.

Weather Vane






































This adorable structure which looks like a combination home/outbuilding/shed/garage/church with a cockeyed steeple lives in Bavon.


I'm not sure how accurate that weather vane is, but I admire its tenacity.
