Decided to take the day off.  It’s been raining since yesterday and weather forecasters said we might see some “conversational snow”  Have never heard that term before.  Who thinks up these new terms.  I want snow – real snow and enough to cover the ground – not conversational snow.  Anyway – we ran some errands and then I asked Michael to stop at Kinder Park on the way home.  So even though it was raining a bit I walked around and took some photos.  Like how the wood on the side of this old tobacco barn has weathered.  The sign said it was a tobacco barn museum so will have to go back someday when its open

We decided to head back out to Mormon Row this morning.  Since it was just the two of us we had time to explore and take lots of pictures.  The farmland here was homesteaded by predominantly Mormon settlers in the early 1900’s but was later transferred to the Park Service.  Only one set of buildings – an acre of the Moulton Ranch – is still in private hands.  The other buildings were allowed to decay until the 1990’s when the Park Service stepped in to preserve the structures
