Fabulous Friday

I'm taking advantage of today's wind.  It's a good day to hang laundry on the line, and then sit back and write.  My son continues to earn more than me on one particular Web site.  I think he's taught me a thing or two about choosing the right topic to write about.  I guess we can all learn from each, regardless of age.

Old Barns ~ A Peek Inside

Here is a peek into the inside of one our our barns.  Amazingly, it's been repaired over the years several times, holding it together.  Look at the tin can lid used to repair the corner.  The roof is the original wood logs, and a bird made a mud nest on a hanging wire.  We think the original house and barns were built around 1954, making this house about 56 years old if we are correct.  I am very intrigued with the barns and will be taking more photos of another barn.
