Home Is Where The Heart Is
They say home is where the heart is. Something about this photo draws me. I wonder who lived here, loved here, played here, worked here and probably died here. What did they do for a living? How did they survive the harsh winters and scorching dry summers? Something about this photo tells me the people were happy, they were survivors and they thrived in this home. Reflecting on this photo and home place reminds me that even in today’s crazy world .. home is still where the heart is.

John, Very well done. It does make you think what went on here.
That was a time of surviving and being self sufficient. Don't know if I could have done that.
Seeing this photo makes me think of all the blessings I have. And not to take it for granted! Thanks John!
John, There's got to be a lot of history behind that home. Another mystery we'll probably not know the answer to.
Very interesting post you are right home is where the heart is. Thanks for sharing and giving us something to ponder.
John, this looks like one of my birdhouses. Cool. Very cool.
It kind of looks like someone ripped the heart outta the place, John! But there is still a lotta soul hanging around:-)
Old properties like that John do have a story lost in time, you can just tell.....
John - Home is where the heart is has never been a more true statement than it is today. Loved the photo!
John, you are absolutely right. Home is where the heart is... Thanks for posting.
John, Beautiful setting, home is always where the heart is, that's one of the reason it feels so good going home.
Have a great weekend-Adrian
I see some of the old houses and do wonder how people live there, but I am sure they were happy to call it home.
John: Driving past old dilapidated homes always conjures up thoughts like that for me too. I always wonder the how, what, and why.
John,
Good picture and very nice reflection for all of us to think about and have our own idea. When I see homes like that one I always wonder what happened that the home neded up like this? I will suggest.
John
I always call Yountville the heart of the Napa Valley. I guess my heart is home, cheers cvc
Good afternoon John.
Another great shot.
I see a great renovation opportunity...
Thank you.
John, That is a great photograph! It looks like it was at one time a pretty nice homestead or ranch.
John,
Like you, we have always walked around a property to see if we would be happy...Some properties exudes happiness, and some don't...I love the shot of these two structures. A
IT's a quiet and calming picture. THanks for sharing. I saw that post on the reblog from Michael. He's a great guy and I'm sure you will get in. Although you don't need a membership for my free tips ;-) LOL!
John,
The area around the houses look very beautiful. I can just imagine . . .
Hi John -- it's always the people and the memories that turn a house into the home -- it's so much more than gleaming hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances and central air conditoning.
John, beautiful photo. Your blog really got me thinking about that photo. I stopped looking at it as just a really cool photo and also starting imagining someone once living there.
That looks like my kind of place...a rustic, fixer upper with a view.
So many moments of life in a single photo! Remakable! :)
Wow John, anyone ever tell you that you take terrific photos :)?! Home is definitely where the heart is and if anyone wants to find home in Albuquerque NM, they need to call John McCormack Albuquerque Real Estate today!
Thanks John, great pic, reminds me of the days when I used to work in the Zuni mountains near you. It was always a highlight of my day when I would come across an old farmstead or ghost town in some remote area.
John~ I think their life was uncomplicated and I'm jealous!
Reading your comments and thinking about how it’s really not about the amenities, the luxuries but truly where the heart is that makes a home just that...... A home.
Thanks for dropping by. It’s been an very busy day and I hope I’ve read and left a comment on everyone’s post. You know how it is some days in real estate are a real zoo. Bring it on :)
Beautiful photo John, thanks for sharing. Home is where the heart is! Have a great weekend neighbor.
I love those old structures. They make a most interesting fabric in our lives.
Hi John, what a wonderful picture - I wonder, too! If only these walls could talk. I bet we would sit there mesmerized for days listening to the stories from days long gone.
It is odd how some scenes draw us in...imagining what happened years ago - and giving it a positive spin underscores your own perception of life. And, that bodes well for you doesn't it?
Hi John,
I always drive by and think...boy if these walls could talk. I bet there was some great memories here, babies born, loved ones died, and then people move on to new homes....and that is where we come into play. Great post John!
Good Morning John, I was catching up on some of teh blogs i missed last week as it got a little busy. I love this photo. I often wonder the same things.
