THIS ABANDONED WHEAT FARM ON WASHINGTON'S HIGH DESERT IS IN RUINS. BUT I WAS DRAWN TO IT ANYWAY. FIFTY YEARS AGO THE FARM HOUSE MUST HAVE BEEN STUNNING WITH A COVERED PORCH ON TWO SIDES. I CAN SEE KIDS SITTING THERE SIPPNG LEMONADE WATCHING A PRAIRIE SUNSET. WITH A CHORUS OF CRICKETS. THE HOUSE IS SURROUNDED BY OUTBUILDINGS AND A BARN THAT HAS AGED WELL. YES, I WAS SURPRISED IT WAS STILL STANDING.
