The Lost Weekend

On a neighbors farm are the remnants of a French Utopian colony. They were kind enough to take us on a tour. By tour I mean let us run around to our hearts content.

There were a surprising number of ruins over 7 acres.

It was a beautiful spring day, perfect for a hike.

The boy riding in our neighbors polaris.

The girl found this laying not far from the ruins. There is still twine on the wooden spool. Our best guess is that it was a kite spool. There is still a lot of paint on it.

The perfect end to the day was this bouquet of wildflowers the girl surprised me with.

  1. I can't believe how beautiful the place is! It's gorgeous in winter, but even more stunning now. I love the archeological find and the ruins.

  2. It was a beautiful spring hike. We didn't even make it all the way up the hills to the waterfall. That is something to look forward to for next time...maybe on your next visit!
