Fallen Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

So sad to see this amazing place turned into rubble.  I will miss its magic.  Though I wonder if some of that special sense of wonder will still remain.  With the forests of old growth nearby, perhaps it will.

Perhaps the shadow people will roam the halls of all those new homes which will soon sprout like so many mushrooms.

Piles of Rubble -Guest Heart Thursday

When I visit the old Home place, I can hear the rock biters crunching and crumbling all that is left of The Abandoned.  I will miss this place -- There is still magic in the forests, but I wonder how long that will last with the huge housing development which will grow here.  Will people be careful of the woods and the intricate delicate beauty to be found there?

It is beautiful to note, if one looks closely, one can still find a heart in The Abandoned.

Lonely Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Sissy and I found this lonely heart placed beneath the window on the second floor of the main building.  This area no longer exists.  The entire complex has been reduced to a field of rubble.

I haven't seen it up close yet.  It is so odd to look over where the buildings once stood and see a clear, clean skyline.  I remember when The Abandoned was built.  I remember the workers pouring the cement walls.  I remember feeling so sad at that time--because they'd made my beloved meadow into a cold giant hillside.  I missed seeing the foxes play and the birds that came there to nest.

Now I am sad to see this magical place compacted into dust.  Strange isn't it?

Soon over 400 homes will be built where this place once stood.  Progress, I suppose.

Hanging Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

The last time I visited my parents' place--located across the street from The Abandoned, I noticed this colorful towel drying in the sunshine.  It brought back memories of helping Mom hang out the wash, when I was a little girl.  There's nothing like the wonderful aroma of air dried laundry.  MMmmmMmmm!

And just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!

A Shadow of Myself

How grateful I am for sunshine.  Last winter held way too many gray days.  The flowers are blooming and summer seems to be on her way.

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Orange Mesh Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I haven't been to The Abandoned since it has been entirely flattened.  This upside down mesh heart is from my last walk there with Sissy.  I admit, it is an odd feeling to look up at the hill and not see the sillhouette of the main building of The Abandoned.

Will the shadow people remain to haunt those who build homes there?  It is a question someone asked me the other day--I didn't have an answer.

Have a great day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday.

Ridged Rubble Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

It is amazing how many hearts one can find in a pile of rubble--and they're quite lovely in their own way!  Have a lovely day, everyone and Happy Guest Heart Thursday.
