Marriage...or Jail




What an attention grabbing headline. Marriage...or Jail. Is there a connection to these photos you ask? Well, we were celebrating our anniversary at the Creamery in Downsville, Wisconsin this Spring. And I snapped these pictures of an old jail and post office. The weathered paint and old boards are the connection to my Arts and Crafts post. But my painting in no way compares to the nirvana of age shown here. Something old is my favorite kind of photographic journey. I posted the weathered boards on my header earlier this Summer. It was a personal favorite. I guess the dried Sunflowers currently headlining my blog could also be considered old. I took that photo near Eau Claire, Wisconsin this fall. Oh, and in case you're wondering I definately don't think of marriage as jail. But my husband does get mad at me when I leave the keys to the house lodged in the door. Go figure.

I love the old, weathered boards. and that shade of teal is beautiful. I love old, too, plus the history behind old things. I'm on my way to my family's farm in California, and I'll keep my eyes open! xxox

Very nice shots, I love old stuff like the mailbox and the weathered doors. I'm just wondering if E.T. Barnum was related to P.T., you never know!
