....and on the way to the mill......

......we passed this wonderful old homestead (no signs of occupancy), and in the large pasture adjacent to it was a herd of reindeer! (in the south? whatever) But I love dereliction photography, so I had to get some pics of this place. I think this would be a great renovation project.....the surrounding area is beautiful farmland and pretty old houses-very rural.

Great stone wall and posts in the front--added later, I think.

Awesome corbels and windows......

The little reindeer seem to be burdened under the weight of their antlers as we watched them walking.....

I just do not understand why people just walk off and leave property unattended like that? I would love to have it!!
