Barn Charm Tuesday!



Week after week I've admired the Barn Charm Tuesday barns, always thinking about all of the stately barns in my area.  So at long last, I've decided to join the barn fun and link to  Tricia at the Bluff Area Daily  http://bluffareadaily.blogspot.com/ (For some reason blogger won't let me link the way I usually do it)


Two of my fellow Missouri bloggers have been charming me with their barn photos for quite sosme time.  Check them out at  http://sweetdaysundertheoaks.com/ and http://thefarmersdaughter2.blogspot.com/   You will be glad you did.

Below is my maiden barn.  She proudly stands along a country road in the St. Martin, MO area.





Sunday was the perfect day for a drive in the country.  The wind was whipping and the sun was shining.
Still prone to coughing fits, I had finally laid my head back, closed my eyes, and let the heat of the sun through the windshield and the hum of the car tires, lull me to sleep.  That is when it happened.  "Deanna!  Look!"  Jim had just turned onto another country road and there she was.  My first Barn Charm barn.  Hope you enjoy it.  I look forward to playing again next week.

Nice barn and nice photo. But I'm wondering: Is it the Rip Hereford Farm or the Rest in Peace Hereford Farm?

First time I have seen RIP on a barn. :))

I suppose it is good to have a sense of humour in the demise of a farm!

Thats something i noticed when i drove from the airport in Louisville Kentucky to Jopetes in Indiana.I came by a couple of barns that had advertising on them, i think there was one in around Patoka lake.State of Maine has none that im aware or, or at least never seen one.We are however. lossing the big barns because a lot of the dairy farmers are gone, the kids dont want to do farming and sell the land. The Barns are falling in or being torn down ,Numbered and sent to a new location for somebodys new house. Great short of that Barn .Y.O.P. JuNYaH

I'm interested in what you did to the picture. It almost doesn't look real, lol.

Great barn for your first Barn Charm. I like the writing on the barn and the editing you've done on the photo.
I already follow Cheryl at The Farmer's Daughter. I'll have to check out your other friend.
Thanks for sharing.
