A postcard from the House of Rex

Great pic for sure.

Whatever you name your abode, be sure and have a sign made that says, "John Hunt Morgan slept here."

One of the great things about this forum is the opportunity to look through other's eyes and experience a small look at another part of the world

I may not care to live where it snows but I appreciate the opportunity you have given us to share this still and beautiful moment from your world.

Cheers

From somebody that's never had to shovel the ****!

Well, I could, but John Hunt Morgan kicked the mortal coil some 70 years before my house was built, though he may have passed through the area once. Now, why should I have this sign??

Regards,
Rex.

Hmmm, always thought you'd have an old mansion Rex...

And, thinking it through, I'm guessing John Hunt Morgan didn't do much sleeping during his ride around/through Cincinnati...

Would make a conversation piece. Had a great great grandfather who farmed not too far from you who was a "Squirrel Hunter" that took on Morgan's troops during that raid.

A mansion? Well, perhaps in my dreams I do.

No, actually, I live comfortably but pretty modestly in a 1930 Tudor Revival - complete with timbers, stucco, masonry exterior walls, and tile roof. It has ample space for one guy, but it's hardly what you'd call a mansion - more like a cottage. I took this photo last year in March after a snowfall not too unlike the one we had today.

There's that gnarly tree again. I despise it so.
But I'm glad that Jamie finds beauty in it.

Regards,
Rex.

The house across the street looks really nice and I would have thought the picture was snapped at 0700.

Are you sure you didn't scan those photos from a holiday card? They're almost TOO perfect!
The snow is lovely to look at and I'm glad that I don't have to shovel it!
