The times are changing! Season after season I have traveled past the old green houses on Bakerstown Road. I remember about 8 or 9 years ago there were the most amazing pink roses that were over growing the shattered glass. The unmaintained green houses seem to change more and more each year and every year I see something new growing out of them. I don't remember a time when the green houses were perfectly kept like I think they should be, but I do remember always seeing some sort of beautiful growth coming in. Yesterday, I was driving home and passed the green houses and for the first time I saw an incredible apple tree with big red apples. I am actually shocked that I've never noticed it before because it's obviously been growing for years. The trunk of this tree is inside of the green house, however the branches stretch outside of the glass and reach over top of it. It's funny that some place that I have seen probably about once a week since I was five has come to have such an appeal to me. Now, the green houses and the surrounding property are for sale and are subject to trespassing laws but I just have to get in there! I want to see what's inside the one in the very middle. I just imagine that there are more apple trees and rose bushes and I think it's probably safe to say there are old tools and old gardening gloves left behind. It just seems so wonderfully mysterious to me. It's really amazing to see how much my area has changed over the years and not just the green houses. So, before I was arrested or fined for trespassing, I snapped a few pictures and sped away.
