There’s something about an abandoned house that speaks to me. I see these houses, I pass them day after day, and I watch nature take them over, take them back. As vines climb up their sides, as the fields push their way into the lawns, as the roofs fall in and the paint weathers off, these abandoned places speak more clearly to me. This one is on Route 17K, just outside Montgomery. Last week, the purple wildflowers shone softly in the autumn sun, and the goldenrod bent and swayed in the wind.
