Barn Charm

Last week while waiting for my husband to get off work I walked around taking pictures. This barn and the one below were behind my husband's workplace. Doesn't the rust & dilapidated boards create such atmosphere? The farm had a house and a large pond too. Wouldn't it be great to fix a place like this one up to its former glory?

We were on our way to a local craft festival last month when we came across this ol' red barn. After we'd walked around to each booth I had to go back and take some quick shots. This was my favorite because it showed off the ivy and displayed the rooftop best. And, look at that clear blue sky. What's not to love about this picture? Hope everyone has a great day~

Yesterday my daughter and I went riding around on country roads we'd never been on before. We saw turkey vultures in freshly cut fields and a red fox in another field which was grown up. We saw sunflowers growing in gardens and alongside a stream. Some were healthy and others were weak, dying.
We foraged through ashes and found small treasures waiting for our prying hands to deliver them from the blackness. We found a clear Christmas bulb and a charred hand- a broken statue of sorts. We're left to wonder why some things are treasured and others are burned, forgotten.
Yesterday I was reminded of how precious each of you are. How your comments make my day a little brighter and make me :) Thank you all for being close by when I've needed a friend. Thank you for being patient when I've been restless. You've all carried me through without complaint and I wanted to let you know I appreciated everything.
Yesterday I read that Paul Squires (a blogger & poet) died July 28th at the age of 46. Though I didn't know him as well as some of you it struck me quite hard. He was to young to die. His death made me realize that blogging can be fun and sad at once. The journey each of you take me on makes my heart swell and the thought of losing another blogging friend is almost to much to bare. To each of my blogging friends... take care.
Paul... may your next journey be as great as the one you left behind. Rest in peace.
Between Pregnant Puddles and Abandon

Friday our bodies are spiced with sweat, debris and mud from a two mile hike and a hot, tempered sun. We hear the sound of our feet squelching mud as frogs jump across our paths. Somewhere between pregnant puddles and abandon we stand as giant sentries before a green frog and watch fritillary butterflies fluttering from one clover to the next.
Lane's end reveals an abandoned barn slightly askew on the land's shoulders. Inside its belly the growling has subsided. No farmer to tend it's needs.
We continue to splinter ourselves along an upright path to an abandoned church where we hear crows squawking. Their argument is taking residence to our right. Once we reach the clearing that allows us to see them they fly away. We can hear them in the distance, voices still echoing their disagreement.
Along the mountaintop we hear rain. The sound grows louder but, no drops touch our skin. Instead, the sun is holding us in its bondage. Overhead we see it was the power lines and finish our hike uphill at the churches front door.
