Near-sunset light streamed through all of many gaps in the main house of a long-abandoned northwestern Kansas homestead. Where children sang along to the early days of radio, or their dad whistled or mom hummed a tune while doing their chores, the only music heard today is rhythmic hymns of the prairie breezes through the walls and windows, singing an epitaph for a difficult yet determined way of life. That era’s sun has set, even as sunset light bathes the remains of its artifacts, day after day, ’til ultimate decay.
