Building Cornerstone

This is an abandoned church building down one of the side streets in Anson.  The structure is boarded up and the belfry had no bell.  The grass badly needs to be cut.

Abandoned House on Corner

This abandoned house is on a corner in a run down neighborhood in Abilene, TX.  

The windows on one side are boarded up and there's a chain link fence surrounding the yard.  The other half of the building has an ac unit in the window, but the house is in disrepair and doesn't look like anyone is living in it.

The sky to the left looks like there's copy space.

Directional Arrow

This fading painted arrow is pointing in the direction the traffic should travel in this spot.

The red paint on the curb is faded. It's been raining pretty much this summer so the grass is fairly green compared to other years.

Snow

Today we had snow in west Texas.  It was in the forecast, but that's always iffy.

I woke up this morning to rain and then snow.

I usually only post one photo a day, but I couldn't help myself today.  I took the top photo of the snow and then about an hour later I looked out at the parking lot and saw this snowman in the yard across the way.  Sadly I didn't see who made it.  

It's just cute.

Today is Thursday and by Saturday it's going to be back into the mid 50s.  I can deal with that.

Train Wheel

There's a small park in downtown Cisco, TX, and there's an old train car that the kids can climb on and get into.  I've taken photos of this train car before, but today I was trying to get something different from my previous images.  This isn't too exciting, but it kind of tells a story.

Pretty Green House

I see this house every time I go to my grandkid's Ju Jitsu lessons.  I got there a little early today, so I grabbed the camera and took a few images.

I love the color of this house and it looks like it would be real sweet inside, but I'll probably never get the chance to see it personally.

My heart is grateful that:

the weather has been so nice lately

Fall Decorations

It's just the third week of Sept and still in the mid-90s here, but this house is ready for Fall.  I can't say I blame them, I'm looking forward to cooler weather.  I'm just not ready to put out the fall decorations.

My heart is happy that:

it's a little cooler and that the grass is green again

Tulips and Telephone Pole

While walking down a country road, I saw these pink and white tulips at the base of the telephone pole.  What a great idea.

Methodist Church

Just a couple of blocks from the abandoned, neglected Main Street of Lueders, Texas, this Methodist church appears to be in good condition and is probably one of the places people worship on Sundays.

The lawn was nicely manicured and the building next door might be the manse.
