Looking Out a Different Window


In our small community there happens to be one of the oldest adobe houses in the State.  It was before the gold rush era.  One wonders how a structure such as that has withstood the severe winters that can happen here.  It is only one room but has definitely met a need  to someone in the early days .  I look at that window and wonder who has looked out of the window, and at that time the landscape was totally different, so I wonder what they saw!  

It is wonderful that it has been preserved all these years.  When I think of how people lived back then I just become so thankful for the simple things I have each day. 

We can all be thankful for everything we have.  Somewhere, sometime, there was a beginning.
