Description I can't count the times I've ridden or drove past this old farm in the past five decades. I always thought it was beautiful. Now it sits empty overgrown and in disrepair. Silently waiting to be torn down and divided up into little cookie cutter lots for prefab homes.

It depresses me so much to see the heart of our country forgotten and taken away.

Ah, but while it is still there, it is a source of great photography! Lovely capture.

That is a sad thought, but likely the future for this lovely, quaint little place. Too bad. I could live there and be very happy with it.

Indeed it is Colt, I think doubly so for old guys like us though. I don't look forward to the view in days to come, that's for sure.

They're on the way out, no doubt about it.

Yeah...They are. The days of a fellow having a few acres, growing some corn, cows and kids is about over.

Ain't it the truth. They have finally designated a greenspace around Toronto to stop the sprawl.

I'm glad to hear that. Toronto is becoming a monster.

You're telling me. I lived there as a young woman when the last northern subway stop was Eglington. It had some charm in those days.
