Thank you! I was a little embarrassed at first because I was so far off the mark with my idea of architecture but I have a pretty good sense of humor and thought it was worth a laugh.

This cabin gets decorated for the seasons. You can see what's left of pumpkins and cornstalks. The friend who showed me this cabin says the flower boxes are planted each year. The curtains are always there, sometimes blowing in the breeze and other times tacked up. Facing the cabin, to the left, is a small headstone for a 10 month old baby who died 119 years ago. The grass is overgrown and probably hides the stone by mid July. After 119 years there probably aren't any family members left in the area to tend to the site.

PS If I could choose between the two, I'd live in Peggy's house. It's quite charming and I bet the roof doesn't leak.
