Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

Farmer, So Much More Than a Dot on a Map
Farmer, or at least the schoolhouse near Farmer
Well maybe not much more than a dot. In fact other than a sign pointing toward Mansfield there isn't much there, other than this building. I'm not actually sure that this building is actually in Farmer. Anyway, Farmer is not America's play land and probably could be argued that it is nothing at all.
I have passed this building many times in my life, just sitting there in a wheat field, off on the horizon. Once on the way back from a fishing trip, my Grandfather explained that it was a old schoolhouse. My cloudy childhood memory, believes that he said that it was in use through the late 1940's and he had attended school there. These facts are very likely false, but sound nice.
Today's two photos were taken 8 years ago, shortly after my mom's death. While on a road trip out to coulee country in a borrowed car.
Enjoy
