Log Cabin in the countryside
Appalachian life styles from days gone by
This little log cabin restored to it’s original beauty stands along a country road in the western part of Kentucky.The new addition of the air conditioner in the window made me smile. Times have changed alot since the cabin was originally built! It’s hard to believe that one room cabins such as this housed families with several children and Father and Mother in days gone by! Strong family ties were grounded forever in such small living quarters where there was no privacy and one was expected to give “thanks” for simply having a “roof over head” and food on the table. How different are the families of today with each member having their “own room” complete with all the electronics such as computers, TV’s, sound systems, ALL which has enhanced aloneness within the family. Perhaps the old log cabin was NOT such a bad idea after all!

BEAUTIFUL CAPTURE…NOT SURE ABOUT THE AIR CONDITIONER…GRIN…..AND THE WHATEVERS ON THE POSTS HOLDING UP THE ROOF…MY GUESS IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE ANTLERS FROM YEARS OF HUNTING. ONLY A GUESS…BUT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA..I HAVE SEEN THEM USED AS CHENDELIERS…WHY NOT COAT HOOKS OR…..ANYTHING.
