Picture blog – One Room Schoolhouse

I haven’t done one of these for awhile…

I have passed by a one-room schoolhouse for years, and always thought I should stop and get a picture.  Of course, I wanted to get a picture with my beloved Minolta 35mm, but alas, said camera, 30 years of age, is ailing…

So the next best thing is with the cell phone.  (A cell phone paid for by my sister, so the haters out there can stop their pious criticism.)

As you can see, it’s in sad shape, with windows boarded up and glass long gone….I figure they’ll be tearing it down before long and I’d best get a picture of it now.

Two entry doors in front…if I recall correctly, the boys and girls entered in separate doors….his and hers should be put above the entry 🙂

Note the rear door…to use the outhouse, which is looong gone.   (Look at the wonderful old growth tree next to it.) Back in the day, my ex FIL used to go with his friends through the country side and tip outhouses over.  Pissed off a few people. haha.

So…I parked off the side road and was busy snapping pics, and when I turned around to head back to my car, I see I have an audience:

Heh. Curious about this person holding this contraption.  I didn’t think about it until now, but I had apples and carrots in the car–could’ve given them a treat.  Darn it.
