Outside of Guelph..

BIG OLD FARMHOUSE

I was driving up a road somewhere just outside of Guelph and I was attracted to this lovely huge farmhouse. When I see a house this old I wonder what stories the walls can tell. I wonder how many little children were raised in this house and how many little babies were born within it's walls.

It was a similar but a little smaller farmhouse that my grandfather died many years ago and his funeral was held in the parlour. I started to wonder if this house had seen some of its members pass on and were the funerals held in the "parlour"?

As I stood beside my car, my eyes wandered to the brown object to the right of the house in the driveway and I wondered what it was. So I zoomed in with my camera and here's what I saw.

CARVING FROM AN OLD TREE

Do you stand and dream like I did when I viewed this very old farmhouse? I suddenly realized that I was blocking traffic and that I should get back into my car!
