Sunday Drive...

Nice day for a Sunday Drive...and a very unusual one at that...

Not quite sure where to start on this, more sure of where I will end up.  Most Sunday drives start out somewhere, and end up where you did not know, as with this one.  Along the way you hope for a pleasant drive and nice scenery, hope the weather is well and nice too.  All of this fell into place today, with four unique points of interest I wish to point out about our "Sunday Drive" 1) Gingerbread House, 2) House of Skulls, 3) Circle of Chairs, and 4) Covered Bridge to Nowhere.

1) Gingerbread House - We were out in the country, way out in the country, and in the middle of a large field was a "house".  As my wife called it, a house like would be in a kid's dream, or as I called it, the "Gingerbread" house...like it was there to entice visitors, yet didn't belong.

It was a house, as stated before, in the middle of a large field.  It was three stories high, and each story had two windows on each side.  It was not wide and perfectly square.  Each level was offset on the other, till it almost looked liked it was leaning but it wasn't.  Each side of the house was painted a different color, and each level had a different color for each side...all bright pastel colors.

The catch, the house was not that old...maybe one to two years...but there was no driveway to the house in the middle of the field...

2)  House of Skulls - not far past the "Gingerbread House"...was another house, much closer to the road, really a "shack".  On the left side of this house, top to bottom, left to right, were skulls.  Mostly cow skulls, but there were others, some of animals(?) I didn't recognize.  All different ages of animals.

3)  Circle of Chairs - I guess you could call this the equivalent of Stonehenge in Lawrence County.  Again, in the middle of a field, but also close to the road, was a circle of 13 metal chairs.   Maybe not a big deal, but they circled nothing.  No fire pit, no woodpile, nothing, no reason for these circle of chairs.

4)  Covered Bridge to Nowhere - Right next to the highway, was a good sized covered bridge...easily above average in length for a covered bridge.  It was fairly new built.  It was off the ground.  Exception?  It wasn't over water...it was just beside the road, like whoever built it was waiting for a river to change channels so they could use it.  For now, the guy next to it appeared to be parking his lawn mowers in it.

Now we did encounter a one room church built in 1852, with an adjoining graveyard founded in 1812 (usually the church is first and the graveyard backwards, but this one did it different).  The uniqueness?  There were thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of flies covering the outside of this church...it was unreal.  If you got close to the church you had to talk loud over their buzzing...they were even covering the hand rail.up to the church.  They weren't anywhere else....just covering this church.

You could count that one as number 5 on my list.  Sunday drive anyone?
