This country road passes an old homestead, long since abandoned. I pass here maybe once a month, and every time I think…I really should stop and walk up that old road…
Today I drove past again…but something told me – this time I really must stop –
– so I finally did. I turned the car and parked it on the meadow nearby.
Happy to have made this decision, I slowly started walking towards the stonefences marking the road up to the house.
To the right, the fine old cellar that used to store food for the winter.
Then the house itself, on the left side of the road. I wonder who once lived here and why they left? The house lies beautifully on a hill, close to the forest and surrounding meadows.
My love for these roads with grass in the middle has a long story…all those childhood years I walked forest roads, meadow roads…and always with grass in the middle. StilI it is in me…I just have to follow them, to see where they go and what I eventually will find.
Some finds I made, even if the walk did not last for more than 15 minutes. I was happy.
I believe we should try to do those little things…follow those whims and ideas we sometimes have. What do you think? It may take some time…but, I try to. Often with a positive outcome – for both me and people around me.

Oh my gosh you should just buy it lol that is gorgeous!
Haha, thank you!I am not good at renovating…
It’s truly beautiful😍
Thank you very much!
Cool post! There’s several places in my local area that I’ve always wanted to go and explore. Lost are abandoned properties. But generally in my area they have ”No trespassing” signs posted so I don’t feel right exploring them. This was such a beautiful property though!
Maybe in urban areas there are more of those signs? Very seldom here where I live. I usually feel quite free to explore!
That’s great! Maybe it’s just here in the U.S. 🙂
i love this way of thinking! 😀
Often it is very satisfying!
I enjoyed ”our” walk, Ann-Christine. What’s next?? 🙂
Well …we will soon find out….
I’m ready when you are. 🙂
😀
Beautiful. My kind of place. I would have done just as you have, parked the car and walked up to the house and the other buildings to take photos.
I would have guessed as much!
It’s always good to follow inspiration when it strikes, Leya, and it’s good to go exploring too. Love the photos and the mystery that surrounds them.
Thank you very much for commenting! And I love mystery too.
Jag skulle precis skriva samma som Minton hade skrivit, lustigt … men …det är underbara bilder och det är roligt att fantisera om obebodda hus, hur de har levt sina liv där mm
Det är det. Allt har sin historia
Underbara bilder på det gamla huset. Så spännande att fantisera om de som bott där.
I want to see that place when I come and see you!!
OK!
😀 Vivi tells me you have plans!
Nooooooo….surprisesurprise…
Hahaha😀
J’y serais montée aussi. Merci de m’y emmener.
Glad you had the courage to walk there all by yourself, glad you followed that ”gras-in-the-middle” road (it brings out childhood memories out in me – my maternal grandparents lived right at the edge of a small wood) and glad you captured the places with your camera so we too can see. Thanks and hug, dear friend……….but, try and be safe😉😉😉
Carina, childhood molds you into what you are and become…I am glad I grew up in the forest and meadows with decent, natureloving people. I am glad I am not young in today’s society. Take care, hugs from me💚
I think that sometimes we must go on a whim and nothing else. The outcome might be uncertain, but you’ve got to follow your heart in the end, and I think in this case it was telling you that you really needed to take that walk!
I guess I had to…thank you, Jake! I also guess that you might have done the same.
Definitely, I feel that it would be calling out to me haha!
It looked a bit lonely there, Leya… Lucky you were safe. Very brave. But sometimes going along with that adventurous feelings brings the best times 😊
😁
I would have done the same thing. Glad you went and then shared these lovely photos.

I thought you would😊
