There is something about this simple house that appeals to me. I've posted many photos of it and even made a Christmas card from one of them. Romanticism aside, imagine what is was like to live here--no electricity, no indoor plumbing, probably several children with no TV or internet to entertain them.... And yet I read of a man who grew up in a house like this; he said it was the happiest time of his life because of the farmland and community that surrounded him.
