Old home place

These pictures, except for the one with the barn, are all from my old home place. The only thing left is the chimney. The kitchen and the living room were on opposite sides of the chimney so it had openings on both sides. One was for the Warm Morning coal/wood heater and the other was for a cooking stove. The side with for the Warm Morning also had a fireplace. If I recall correctly the house was 24 feet by 28 feet and had a kitchen, living room, and 2 bedrooms. For a short time there were 7 of us kids along with mom and dad living in the house. My oldest sister left home shortly so that only left 6 of us at home. We got electricity when I was 5 or six. Sometime later we got a refrigerator and since we didn't have much room in the kitchen a hole was cut in the wall between the kitchen and one of the bedrooms and the refrigerator was set back in the hole so only the face of the refrigerator was showing in the kitchen. Obviously most of the refrigerator was in one of the small bedrooms. The holler where we lived always had a lot of rattlesnakes. We killed one or two about every year...sometimes in the yard. The bottom pictures kind of shows how isolated we were. The little square picture in it is where our house was located. The barn belonged to a neighbor about 1/4 mile down the road. Those daffodils are probably from the ones that my mom had more than 60 years ago.
