 Earlier in the day, the sun shone bright. Standing at the kitchen window, I could feel its warmth. Outside, the snow was freezing and now it crunches with every step. At no other time does the air feel as clean.   ~Nancy ~ 348/365

Today, with the wind, it was cold.
The air was November crisp, and as dusk began to ascend, I hurried to our barn to get a picture of it with the reflecting hues of the pink setting sun. ~Nancy ~ 326/365  On the side of an old barn, I wondered about the boys who shot hoops between farm chores. I hope their dreams came true... ~Nancy ~ 281/365  
A drive through the country and a visit with a friend found this old barn.
Its days are numbered, and it is missing a wall and part of its roof. I can't help but wonder who tied this rope on the iron ring and how long it has hung here. A metal pole building has replaced this barn, but the warmth and strength of this relic can never be replaced. ~Nancy ~ 257/365 
On my drive home,
I had to pull over to catch the way the light reflected off of the old barn and this bale of hay. What a gorgeous summer we have had! ~Nancy ~ 322/365 
"My father kept me busy from dawn to dusk when I was a kid. Another cutting of hay has been baled, and, with the right amount of sun, rain, and the right temperatures, we hope to have one more cutting before September 15th. Whenever I see a bale of hay, I think of my niece, Allison, who, when she was little, and every time she saw a bale sitting in the field, would point, and say, "Hey!" Or was it, "Hay!"? "Family is not an important thing. ~Nancy ~ 216/365
 I've passed this barn with Shannon many times, and have always noticed it. This evening, after our workshop, I drove to visit it with Ashton and Joel to take pictures with the sun low behind us. We love the care that has been given to this old barn... ~Nancy ~ 155/365  |
