The Second Obstruction

This is a house on Beall's Lane in Frostburg, Maryland. It's a few doors down from Kim's mom's house and it's always for sale (my guess is that the utilities are so expensive that most people in the area don't have jobs that pay enough to maintain it). The house is wood, has two big porches, a great sunroom, and all of the original woodwork throughout the house appears to be intact. It also has a beautiful yard and nice outbuildings. One night, when Kim and I were just beginning to spend time together, we laid down under the Black Walnut tree in the backyard and talked. This was the night that Kim told me about having to have an operation for scoliosis when she was in the 8th grade.

When I visited Frostburg over the holidays, I parked in front of the house and the first thing I did when I got out was take this picture.
