Another Barn I found that I think it is still in use. I see the surrounding is planted with corn and I think by now they are tall and have ear of corns or corn? ^_^
I love your barn photography, Kim, this is really nice. I grew up just south of you in northwest Ohio, so your area has pretty much the same terrain and similar rural scenery as where I lived. Both sets of my grandparents had farms with barns, and I remember exploring in them with my siblings when I was a child, climbing up the ladder to the hay mow, smelling the characteristic smells of hay and old barn wood inside. Sadly, these old barns are becoming more and more scarce. My wife (a Pinay) and daughter and I like to look at them when we go back to Ohio, and I often take the less-traveled roads such as US 224 so that we can see more old barns and farms, and sometimes stop at barn sales (like garage sales) usually during the major holidays in the summer.
This one in the photo is probably from somewhere between the 1890's and early 1920's (I'd guess right around 1910), but I am sure there are some older ones around your area too. It has a really nice stone foundation. Note the 3 lightning rods up on the roof, each of which has a beautiful hollow glass ball on it.
Thanks for your barn posts, I enjoy them, and I hope you will continue to chronicle them.
The whole day I was out. Yup, as in literally out of our house. Because me and my friends were having a shopping Filipino food mode and lunch after. Thanks to Ms. L for driving us and preparing our lunch because we had a sumptuous lunch as well as a good laugh. Here are the photos that we took.
So it's another couple's corner meme once again and this time it is all about jealousy. I am thinking of the 8 years that I have known my hubby (2 years of chatting, 1 year engaged, 5 years of marriage) wala namang grabeng nangyari sa amin in terms of jealousy but ONCE and will tell the story later so hang on hehe. I am the kind of person who trust a person without any doubt, even with friends what you see is what you get but if you broke that trust I would never care nor look at you as in talagang wala na. But in marriage pala we can't just say "that's it" or "this is it", we have to listen to one another and trust again and again and again. I look as jealousy or selos as like a flame that keeps the fire from BURNING HOT!! bwehehehe!! -wink-wink- Hubby is not a jealous type nor I (well not much). His ex-wife is still living and I never get jealous because I am much 1000% prettier and younger than her bwahahaha!! Kidding aside hubby don't h...
Six more weeks and it will be Spring wohooo!! By that time I am kind of busy scratching (like a chicken) trying to find sprouting plants specially tulips and some other early plants and flowers on the ground. This year I am excited to see my dahlias, peonies and hollyhocks blossom once again. Last year I took a shot of my first ever Dahlia and never expected to see a humongous one. The saying "expect the unexpected" is what I remember when I saw my first Dahlia. This picture is the bud, ain't that huge already. The other day when it starts to warm up (25F that's our warm or heat wave here in MI lol) the snows on top of the roof started to melt, so it formed long icicles. I so then thought of taking a picture for macro shot. When I saw the result in my camera the light from the window came out yellow, a great entry for MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY !! ^_^
