March 5th: Land of Was

I was driving today and noticed this old building about to be demolished and it made me sad....because although I appreciate the new I really love the old. I thougt I would take a photo in order to remember what was there before it went away. I'm glad I did because then I could see they had demolished and old beautiful house, which was a home to someone not a converted business. Lots of feral cats use to live there. There is a photo of one of them still there minus the people who lived there. It reminded me of when I was getting my stuff out of storage and went to throw a box in the dumpster...I noticed lots of photos of a family, which had been thrown away. I had wondered what had happened to them. I noticed the business about to be demolished was called at one time...the land of was. And I thought, yes, everything seems to be turning into the land of was.....out with old in with the new...in a very careless way. Then one day the supposed new will be old....When I was about to leave I noticed this foreign monopoly card left behind the rubble. It was still a monopoly card with the words....Deed, Morgtage and money. Yes, life has become a monopoly game of life....people owing back rent, back mortgages because of covid....real estate prices pretty high...some dropping their small houses for larger ones...while others have no home with a view or about to get kicked out of their current apartment or home.....the homeless with simple tents and those getting mowed down as well. So, the monopoly card really hit home.....sort of like Lucy and her awful real estate..it's all about the real estate Charlie Brown......I decided to show some photo of flowers from before covid and my sampler I'm still working on and my Ray Quilt by CF carolyn friedlander. I decided not to edit any of these photos because I just didn't...and so, some are grainy not so great lighting etc.....just real. I'm happy but you know just worried about things like a normal..............all about the green charlie brown......some things aren't for sale though...and human life shouldn't be even if its attached to the new ugly.
