How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in your life.......
you will have been all of these.
George Washington Carver
I just love that old stained glass window!
ReplyDeleteWell said and good photographs !
ReplyDeleteAh,the stained glass window is stunning and very true words there.
ReplyDeletewell said....
ReplyDeleteLove the quote, love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote says everything and more. I was attracted by the name of your blog seems like an interesting place to be. Do come by my blog sometime.
ReplyDeleteTruer words were never spoken. Love the photos that go along with this post.
ReplyDeleteGreat old house. I am quite worried about this wise quotation, because I still miss a couple of those...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteWhoa.... good quote! Love it!
ReplyDeletelove the pealing paint. i can relate...
ReplyDeleteI think that's quite true. Love the cottage!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures of the old place.
ReplyDeleteWow! Good words and good pics!!! That house needs some loving!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your post today!
ReplyDeleteI like that and I would like to think I am all of those but then again I'm biased.
ReplyDeleteso timely - as my father is now moving into assisted living, these words ring more loudly than ever.
ReplyDeleteWow....something to think about.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the stained glass beautiful?
Wise words Michelle and a nice reminder. I too have to say the stained glass is awesome, what a wonderful contrast to the worn wood.
ReplyDeleteLove that window! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteReally love the quote..so very true. Great photos, as usual. xo
ReplyDeleteThe quote is perfectly illustrated by this crumby vintage house. I hope someone shows it kindness and returns it to it's former grandeur.

Thanks so much for your condolence--it was great appreciated!
A great measurement of current time and life indeed.
ReplyDeleteMay you all have a kind Wednesday.
Great quote and (as usual) beautiful photography! You've got a great eye for both. Thanks for blessing me with your post. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote! I don't think I've heard it before!
ReplyDeletethat crackly paint looks like my winter skin! ha.
never heard that quote before. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteI love this quote and that window too.
ReplyDeleteIf the walls could talk, what a story I bet they could tell.
ReplyDeleteWonderful words.
Great blend of words and images. That grand old house looks like it should receive some patience and compassion.
ReplyDeleteVery true- lovely images too. I do try to lead a compassionate, cruelty-free lifestyle.

Surprised that window has survived the elements and sticky fingers -- wonderful captures. :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the stained glass window. It lends to the character of the house...can you imagine what stories this house would tell if it could talk? Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful old house... looks like someone scavenged the diamond window...
ReplyDeleteThe quotes complicated the pictures beautifully. Love the stain glass windows. (Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the words and your photos! I was intrigued by the windows with the small stained glass panes around them, my great aunt had 2 such window inserts in her house!
ReplyDeleteIt just breaks my heart to see a house abandoned that obviously was very loved in it's heyday.
ReplyDelete((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Amen! We are having to deal with this in my dad's family with his older sisters and brothers; he is the last of nine. There are five of them still alive, but one of my aunts is now very ill....sigh....she was so vital and alive all of her life. We are all scrambling to help her son as we can get through this final stage of life. Unfortunately, we are getting rather good at our jobs. Guess that is all part of life and God's plan to take care of those who cared for us.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your pictures!
Hi lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo of this old house if she could only talk to us!!! What a story she would tell us all. I hope someone put's some love back into her old wall's and missing paint she need's some love.
Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my new Tablescape and my Kitchen. I hope you and your family have a wonderful week.
XXOO Diane
Fabulous photos that fit so appropriately with the words!
ReplyDeleteThose are truly words to live by and the photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove George Washington Carver, the quote is a great marriage with your images.
ReplyDeleteOut throwaway society strikes again -- sometimes its houses and buildings -- sometimes it is life in various forms -- barbara
ReplyDeleteThe words of Mr. Carve are so true and a good reminder. As always your photos...well, just makes one wonder who lived there and why they are abandoned.
