THEN AND NOW
1980’s and 2015 – from lawn to jungle
1988 Aerial
In 1988, brother Jim got his pilot’s license and flew over the farm, taking this photo. The barn is intact and all the cars are clearly visible.
GOOGLE EARTH 2007 & 2012
2007, the year of my mother’s horrific car accident which expelled her from the farm, already too cluttered to accommodate her post-recovery need to walk unhindered by rubble.
2012 – overgrown and barn gone to ground.
