i’m not sure if anyone lived here, or if it was some kind of community building. it’s the kind of place i would want to live in though. i love storefront windows, porches and living space above. right downtown. we ate our tuna sandwiches on a picnic table in the shade by a similar building. across the street from the main street pub and grill. i was surprised that at least a dozen cars passed by. it was past church time. then we hiked on the flint hills nature trail that had an opening in this little town. then we went to another old town. then we went to harveyville, because i wanted to see what these kids were doing with these old schools : the harveyville project. it is the kind of thing i would like to do, too. it was all quiet on that day and i was wandering around outside and heard hammering, so poked my head back to say hi, is it ok if i look? they said the inside wasn’t open today, but wandering was fine. they were building a chicken coop. they seemed nice. they had a cat who looked like phoebe, margaret’s cat, wandering in the entrance. we could see her behind the glass door and poked our noses up and the woman walked by and i felt embarrassed for snooping. i might want to go live in a school room and just make art and not be bothered by Real Life for about a week. that actually sounds really really good. wow. i got all these words out. i also saw that fox again this morning. he wanted a baby bunny for breakfast, but the bunny was too FAST. i rather felt sorry for him (the fox). he looked so ragged and hungry. three day weekend. i don’t even care that it is a working weekend. i’m just glad.
