This is a recurring theme in the deep south of the United States.

As children move to larger towns and cities the old homestead is left behind to fight a losing battle against mother nature and time.

It’s probably been 30 years since the family gathered on this front porch to watch the summer sun go down.  Someone used to sweep that stoop religiously.  Somebody once sweated buckets giving this house a fresh coat of paint.  Those days are over.
