the farm

today we're going to take a small detour from austin and head an hour southeast to cresco, iowa. to me, cresco is an extension of my hometown. it's where my dad grew up, my grandparents still live, and i spent a large portion of my childhood. my family was there on thanksgiving, and we took my grandpa for a ride out to see the old farmhouse where my dad and his brothers grew up and i spent endless hours exploring as a little girl. we barely caught the last sun rays of the day, so my photos are in short supply, but i wanted to share anyway. this is one of my family's dearest, most memory-filled places. i hope you enjoy.

the shed that kept my favorite cat warm in the winter
