little red cabooseI took this photo for Hubby because he just loves trains. It's awfully cute, with its own little black track and pots of autumn flowers hanging off the corners. It looked newly painted and as neat as a pin. Just too cute for words.
It sat in the middle of a closely cropped lawn in Wilkeson. It could have been a tiny city park and this might have been the speaker's platform and lunch wagon -- or it could have been a big private lot with a pint-sized caboose-house on it. Hard to tell. No one to ask. And to be on the safe side, we didn't climb up the back and press our noses to the windows. If someone was normally home, they were not there the day we dropped in. And we sure wouldn't want to scare them to death peeking in on them!
Now, if it's a play house, I am just so jealous! What kid wouldn't give a month's allowance to have their very own caboose play house? Every kid has their own idea about what to have in their play house and how they'd fix it up -- but then again so does every grown-up "kid." If this was your caboose, what would you do with it? How would you fix it up?
Let's dream a little and have some fun!

I really have to compliment you on your great blog. It is so diverse. Great subjects. I enjoy reading them. :)
Ace!! Thank you so much for your sweet comment!! I always enjoy reading your blog, too!! [And going off on a tangent on one of your "posers" which I always enjoy! :D]
So, what would you do with your own little red caboose? It would make a pretty fancy garden hut!! :D
I think I would use the caboose as my dressing room and fix it up like a diva's and have lots of space for all my clothes, shoes, make up etc. Oh now I want one for myself soo much. My son would love it too.
Loree!! What a great idea!! Your own "Diva Room"!! It does sound wonderful! I want one, too!!! It would be the ultimate walk-in closet, and room for all the accessories!! I'd also like to use the caboose for my office with comfy couch, good lighting, work table, bookcases and NO TELEPHONE OR TV!!!! LOL Thanks for your comment today! :D
Hi, Sunflower;
We're on the same page with this one! The second I saw it I thought... oh, I want that to be my perfect, private, little office / hideaway. I'd keep the flowers and put a lock on the door so it would be mine all mine. :))
Kate!! I love it!! Yes, it would be a wonderful hideaway -- all yours, complete with cheery flowers and a lock on the door! Just a little escape with a huge therapeutic benefit! I could sure use one -- and right now!!! LOL Well, it's fun to dream... :D
