A portal to amazing and fantastical worlds… Or… inspiration for the invention of the chamber pot. π
Wonder which came first–the outhouse or the chamber pot?
Hmmm, where is my snow shovel? How beautiful this little rest stop looks all quiet with a winter blanket.
We have an outhouse at our quaint little hillbilly cabin—built by hand out of an old torn down house. I Thought it strange to put a window in ours, but I guess other people do this too. The ones I have visited never had a window. I can say that I have never thought one looked beautiful as I trudged to it in snow and cold. A lot of us Appalachian children of the 60’s did grow up with outhouses. Two of my good friends did not have indoor bath rooms until we were seniors in high school. I don’t think any of us miss them. But I can see the rustic beauty of them—just don’t give me wallpaper,shower curtains,etc. with them on it. UGH!
Wow! That’s a way better story to tell your kids than how far we walked to school every day. π
Quaint shed or tiny outhouse? Hmmnn either one works fine π
Cute window!
