I can remember years ago when so many rural houses looked like this. I miss seeing them.
From the looks of the porch I think this old house is abandoned. Lot of firewood on the porch. Well in yard is covered up. Grass seems to be cut.

This little garden behind a quaint little shop on George
Street has been rented to numerous different shop keepers
and their wares over the years. At this very moment it is a
gourmet-pretzel-establishment with a little eating area at the
'back right.' What will it be next year? - Thanks for looking
*[there is a cute little-old-cabin 'in the back left' that they have
now hidden with landscaping...but it's still back there! LOL]
*[probably the neatest and nicest it's looked in a long time!]

'Standing On The Square' is a beautiful retrospective on a small fraction of the work of esteemed Brother and Photographer Jamel Shabazz. Curated by Sister Myrah Brown-Green.
Go see it at 558 St.Johns Ave, in the Great Republic of Brooklyn. It is a must see exhibition!
This is just a lil' taste ;-)
Visiting back in 2002 for my boy's christening.
He surprised her with a kiss. She loved it.
We lost her to a stroke on 1 July 2006 and I miss her madly.
Ol' loverboy's still around though... :-)
I heard an old familiar sound
Just on the other day,
Which started me to thinking
In a nostalgic way.
Ringing through the neighborhood
Was the delightful tune.
I found me patting both my feet.
It made me want me want to croon.
Such sound, so gentle and so sweet,
And so very mild,
Took me back to the days
When I was just a child.
With favorite treats less than a buck,
‘Twas the sound of the ice cream truck.
(Ice Cream Truck ballad by Walterrean Salley)
Old School! Going back to my 2004 photos I found this shot of a MoW train heading westbound down Cajon Blvd being led by a GP35! Back in the day this used to be a common sight in Cajon Pass and this area, not anymore. Four axle power seems to be gone for the most part, so enjoy this retro shot.
During dinner today, I noticed on a plastic bottle of ketchup that Heinz has a website where you can upload a photo of people enjoying their ketchup. It also says that you can win 400,000 dollars. I immediately thought of this photo which shows a friend munching away on a bowl of spaghetti with a very conspicuous glass bottle of Heinz nearby. Maybe they'll like it because of its "vintageness".
By the way, that striped glass was one of those Shell gas station giveaways when you filled up your car. In the case of my friend's family, it was a white 1971 Buick Skylark. Believe it or not, his parents STILL have that glass in their house and it looks brand new.
==> Update 3/15/14. Got an email from Heinz saying that this photo didn't win in the contest, but received an honorable mention. They sent a coupon for 50 cents off the next purchase of ketchup. Bummer!

"back in the day" before computers, smartphones, and the internet - you needed one of these to communicate from afar!
On July 27, 2005, I went on a Railfan trip around Bone Valley ( in Polk County and Hardee Counties, Florida). At Fort Meade, I found a Historical Museum with Passenger Cars previously own by Phosphate Mining Companies like Mosaic, Cargil, ALCOA, & IMC Agrico. There was a Plymouth Switcher No. 225 lettered Mobil, an Antique Fort Meade Streetcar, a MOSAIC Drag Bucket,
a Caboose, an ALCO RS1 Diesel Locomotive #207 formerly owned by IMC Agrico, a Critter Locomotive, a Horse Drawn Wagon and an Antique McCormick Deering Farm Tractor.

I found this cool, old sign in Murfreesboro, TN while visiting a couple of weeks ago with the family during Spring Break. It is for GE Major Appliances and has a third section that was probably for the name if the local business. But...the coolest part is the big arrow with all the light bulbs! I bet it was great looking back in the day...
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5000 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop.

The above is a slightly larger version of an image taken for the Macro Mondays group that exceeds the group's 3-inch guideline, but is presented here to provide context for how it was worn. The smaller macro version that was posted to the group is in the first comments box.
This vintage tool was among my father’s things when he died. It was probably worn by him when he was a young man or perhaps by his father before him for use in harvesting corn by hand.
The tool consists of a metal hook riveted to a formed leather piece that straps around the hand and wrist using attached straps and buckles. Users walked beside horse-drawn wagons in the fields as they husked the corn manually and threw it into the wagons. The hook on the tool was used to rip the corn husk open so that the ear could be easily broken off the shank that leads to the stalk. Though labor-saving machinery was available for corn harvesting by the 1920s, some farmers still husked and harvested corn by hand into the 1940s.
The text on the tool metal says “The Raidt Make, Shenandoah, Iowa.” A bit of Googling reveals that there was once a company called Raidt Mfg Co. in Shenandoah, which is not far from where members of my family have farmed for generations in Southwest Iowa.
HMM
My mom also had this very heavy glass dish with a protuberance coming up from the middle that fit the Macro Mondays theme of "Back in the Day." This was my grandmother's juicer. Can you imagine how laborious it was to cut citrus in half and mash it over this glass piece to get juice? Wow. Some modern advances certainly are convenient! I feel so blessed that my mom held onto these kitchen tools and I hope to pass them along to my children. They are a piece of history!
