For my birthday this year I decided to give myself the gift of taking some time out to do my favorite thing...
These houses are some that I have been wanting to photograph for years. I have passed them in my travels and promised myself "one day, I'll have enough time to stop and take some photos"... Well, I've never had enough time, until I made enough time - and I'm so glad that I did. Some of these beautiful places, full of memories, might not be around much longer.
One of these houses in particular is very sentimental to me - the homestead of my extended family that my Mom spent many childhood days at with her cousins, aunt and uncle. My parents were planning on moving us into this house when I was very young, and I have my own childhood memories there, coloring and dropping my crayons through a large metal grate on the floor while Mom and Dad worked on fixing up the house. We never did move in, but I've always remembered it and wondered what it looks like now. I remember the house being a lot bigger, but that's because I was a lot smaller.
This day reminded me that I need to remember to MAKE time for myself to do the things that bring me light far more often than I do - everyone should 🌞🌻 Enjoy!
