Turn the Other Way....

Back in early spring, we headed down to Bulverde, TX, for a soccer game.

Bulverde is a small rural town, north of San Antonio.

That city does seem to be creeping closer and closer, though.

There is still some country left, out where the soccer fields are.

We turned right, instead of left, leaving the fields, 

and came across this little old farmhouse.

The stacked stone fence just called out to be photographed.

But, this old stone building was what first caught my eye.

Was it a house?  Was it a barn?

And, look at that old buckboard wagon.

I'm not sure what it USED to be.

But, it's a keeper now.

Well taken care of...even the same turquoise shutters, as the farmhouse.

You just never know what you'll find, if you just turn the other way.

Nobody's Home...

Sometimes, I wish old buildings and homes could talk.

What kind of tails would they tell.

Along a once very country road, now with 'progress' creeping up,

you see signs of the past.

Who knows how many generations lived here.

But, nobody's home here, now.

Once maybe a nice property.  Is that a guest house, out back?

And, it has a tv antenna.  So, not really ancient.

If only walls could talk.

On Chimney Valley Road...

On our back roads drive the other day, we took this little two lane road.

Chimney Valley Road.

Do you ever wonder why some roads have the names they do?

We did see some chimneys.  But, nothing that would warrant the name.

It's close by.  Maybe we'll take it again, some day.

There were plenty things to see.  I bet later in the spring or summer, it'll

be even more interesting.

We came across this house.

It could certainly use some TLC.

But, we decided that someone still lives here.
There's a not-too-old truck parked

just to the right of this photo.

And, there's a power line, running to the house from the road.

And, maybe running water?

Guaranteed peace and quiet.

Except for a crazy old woman, with a camera.
