Quail Way

 Quail Way is the private road that takes us home and at times is a challenge to maneuver but there are some interesting things along the road that I see when driving in the car but the other day I drove the road in the Golf Cart for the first time and the things can now be seen up close at a slower pace.  The first thing that I noticed, whether you are in the car, cart or walking, is the small barn or building.  The interesting thing about this building is that it leans towards the road and it looks like it could fall over at any minute but the truth is that this building has been leaning this way at least 25 years or more.  Along the road side there is a small stream that runs just to the right of the road.  Next to the stream are some small buildings or remnants of some buildings that at one time were useful.  About half way up the road there is a large barn that also looks like it could cave in at anytime but it won't because it was reinforced just last year.  There is also some old farm tools that were placed as decoration, I think, by the barn owner.  After passing the barn if you look up and to your left you see a large old log cabin.  This cabin has been there for years and the owner only uses it every once in awhile.  The interesting thing about this cabin is that it can only be seen in the winter and early spring because it is camoflauged amongst the trees.  There is a barn on the right that is in good shape that houses the horses and donkeys of our neighbors that also live on top of the hill.  There is also two ponds one large one and one small one. The large one is on the left just as you approach the big hill that takes us home.  So now when I drive the road, especially in the golf cart I appreciate the things that are along it just a little more.  Don't ask me why!
