Can you see the trend here? There are so many of these abandoned places around the edge of nowhere. I should have held off and made them my theme for February. Usually in February, I choose a theme and spend 28 days harping on that theme. Derelict properties would have been a good theme, but so much for that. This particular house was once a proud place that fronted a fine horse farm. The outbuildings, barns, pens and all the rest of it are still there, but sinking fast, too. It is crazy. How can people just walk away from a property and let it rot around itself? I just don't get it.It was a lovely day today, maybe reached 70 degrees. If it didn't, there is another good chance for it happening tomorrow. I even cut a little bit of grass this afternoon, so that is something to write about. I think the grass cutting will start big time out here in another month or two. Otherwise, all is well on the edge of nowhere. Peace out, bra!
Servile -- Adjective: 1. of or befitting a slave or a menial position. 2. meanly or cravenly submissive: abject. Jason's coworkers assumed that his servile flattery of the company president was done with eyes toward a promotion.
Did You Know? Latin served us servile with the help of servilis, itself from servus, the Latin word for "slave." Servus is also an ancestor of serve, service, and servitude. Synonyms of servile in English include subservient, slavish, and obsequious. Subservient implies the cringing manner of one very conscious of a subordinate position. Slavish suggests abject or debased servitude. Obsequious implies fawning or sycophantic compliance and exaggerated deference of manner. Servile suggests the mean or fawning behavior of a slave.
