Tourist Attraction?

If so, it must not be very successful as I've never seen a soul there and there's no sign labeling it as such. We drove past it again today as I had to drop off the quilt...again...with the improved backing. Joanie, the quilter does lives a long way from us, so my plan to make a special trip last week never materialized. 

I had my camera at the ready as we drove past a long row of rusted farm equipment lined up by the side of the road. When I looked at the pictures I took as we whizzed by, I realized that there are all sorts of old buildings, somewhat reminiscent of an old western town, including a white steepled church and what appears to be an old fire station with an engine in it. All of this next to a beautifully maintained white house with a mowed green lawn and a rose bush by the door. 

It shall remain a mystery for now, but I will look more closely past the rusty farm equipment to the buildings behind and the old metal gas station signs on the fence behind the field.

The weather has been gloomy with a very dark sky at times, but only a smattering of rain. The temperature has dropped twenty degrees (F) and once back home we have remained cloistered, doing domestic chores and allowing our joints to adjust to the abrupt change in barometric pressure. Climate models for 2023  suggest an intense El Niño* 'which could trigger floods, heat waves and drought'. 2023 is almost over and I don't quite see how we could have all those things in the next two months.

*The term El Niño (the Christ Child) refers to a warming of the ocean surface, or above-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean
