- Maybe a momma cat named Daisy gave birth to three yellow kittens under that front porch...
- Maybe a young dad planted that tree for his newborn daughter...
- Maybe a 10-year old boy who knew better than to climb up the windmill fell and broke his left arm...
- Maybe the there's a cellar in the back yard where shelves were lined with jars of pickles, beans, and tomato juice and where the anxious family waited out tornado season weather...
- Maybe there was a huge garden in the field where tassels waved from the rows of corn and sunflowers grew on the far edge just because the momma thought they were pretty...
- Maybe a big Sears catalog was delivered to that mailbox every year, then everybody took turns leafing through its pages...
- Maybe Rex, the most loyal family dog ever, was buried under that second little tree in the side yard...
- Maybe peas were shelled and beans were snapped under that awning on the back side...
- Maybe sheets were sometimes hung out to dry on the bars of the windmill...
- Maybe there was a disagreement after the hailstorm on whether the new roof should be green or brown...
- Maybe there was a long table inside where the best roast beef, potatoes, and carrots were served to family and friends every Sunday after church...
- Maybe a couple waved good bye as their last child drove away to college then held hands and gave thanks for a good life...
Farm life happened here...
Thank you to Cheri Wollenberg for taking the reference photograph.
The farmstead house stands close to Pocasset, Oklahoma.
I painted this for her Month #1 Challenge on Pinterest.
