Description Remember that house ..
when you were a child
the house that everyone thought was haunted
you know the one....we all had one...

you faced your fear and entered the house on the hill

*********************************************

A wonderful story written for my picture by

I want to live in that house on a hill.
The joy I could share
With the one I love near
As we live in that house on a hill.

The sun will shine through on each window sill.
We’ll dance in the kitchen
Of that house on a hill.

The nights will be calm
But we don’t have to be still.
There is much to enjoy
In that house on a hill.

I’ll dream happily of the present we share.
I won’t have a care as long as he’s there,
And we’re in that house on a hill.

I’ll smile and sing,
All of our hopes will take wing
As we grow in that house on a hill.

But I just sit and stare
At the shadows in there.
Empty window panes
And the garden that snares
My sad little house on a hill.

The clouds in the sky fail in deterring
My sunny imagination.
It’s with a hopeful tear
That I turn away
From that abandoned house on the hill.

With All Hallows Eve right around the corner.........this is a timely image. My friends and I would have made this our clubhouse. We love to stare fear in the face.

Don't lose that sense of adventure. It's what keeps us young. We love to go on hay rides through the forest on Halloween Night and try to creep each other out. Bring a thermos, a blanket. It makes for a fun and possibly romantic night, fear sometimes makes women want to cling. Hoohah!

It's no wonder they can't keep that dog from chasing school buses; he sneaks through the holes in the wall!

Seriously, it's a great shot! I love that type of subject!
