Feral Houses

When I was doing dog licensing up in Oregon for the county I found found cousins of these houses. Sometimes in run-down parts of town, sometimes just hiding there in the middle of a living part of town - kids on bikes rolling by, well-kept lawns and flowers beds to each side of the Lost House. I always wondered where that house's people were. There might be statues lost in the flowering bushes, or a bird feeder half hidden in the yard, or once stepping stones with a child's footprints filling with moss.

My thanks to ellen_kushner for reminding me of them today.
