That looks very much like my grandma's garage did when I was a kid. One time Mom painted a picture of the farm with the garage in it, which caused Grandma to notice how crooked it was--it was standing only because it was held up by cables tied to trees. She was horrified that people might think badly of her for having a rickety old garage so the next day she hooked the tractor up to it and tore it down. That sort of made mom's painting immediately obsolete.
I have been driving by this farmstead for years. Monday on the way to Sioux Falls, I decided to stop and take a couple pictures. It is in the Little Sioux Valley, one of the prettiest places that I have seen in Iowa. Not far from this location, Inkpaduta and his warriors camped on their way to Spirit Lake, IA when the world changed.
This spot in cyberspace is nothing more than what it is. You may like some things or you might not. I don't really care. All photos (unless noted (unless I forget)) were taken by me, some at 65 mph.
No Twitter here! Thank God
