Here is just one image today.
This barn is just South of Wilmington, Ohio, on Route 3. What appeals to me is that it is so representative of small, family-owned farms we used to see on Sunday drives so many years ago before the huge mega-farms of today.
Enjoy,
Lois

PS - Yesterday I managed to get My Honey to give me four of his turned wood miniature bird houses to put into our shop. :))) He blogged about them as one of his hobbies awhile back, too.People have asked us many times if he has them for sale and it has taken quite a bit of encouragement on my part to get him to sell some of them. Well, now some are for sale. You can see them by clicking on the image at the right.
Have I mentioned how cool I think they are? :)))

PPS - Wow, this is fun! Since I just wrote the above about the bird houses, two of them have been sold.
Four more coming very soon!

i love the family farms in the midwest. red barns, white houses, silo... home...
ReplyDeleteThat barn is really nice. Love those old buildings. Cute birdie houses!
ReplyDeleteThere is something about barns that tugs at the heart. Great photo. Those bird houses are cool.
ReplyDeleteI remember our family farm barn and some of the memories that your picture brought back to me. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe bird houses are wonderful.

Love the barn.
ReplyDeleteAnd Honey better get busy. I think his wood turning is beautiful and will be a great holiday sale if they last that long!
Great old barn! The turned birdhouses are delightful, and I think they will sell very well. Kjell needs to spend more time in his shop, though I'm sure that will be a hardship for him!
ReplyDeleteThe old barns are disappearing fast so it's always good to see one still in operation, Lois. And very nice little birdhouse that your Kjell creates.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the old barn, Lois...always a favourite subject of mine to photograph. And your husband's birdhouse is truly a thing of beauty...clever man.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your stopping by to leave me birthday greetings...:)
