They also have 5 mules that they ride and a wagon that they use to give rides.
I liked the soft nose and the wiskers
Below are 4 8x10 photos that I have matted to fit 11x14 frames. I will be giving one of them away. I promised a giveaway a few weeks back and I have been waiting for them to be matted. February was my birthday, my 2 year blogversary, and I reached 200 followers. All good reasons for a giveaway. These pictures did not turn out the best as the light in the house wasn't very good. The first 2 are matted with a pale yellow mat that matches the sun.
This one is matted with a pale gray
The last one is matted with a dark charcoal gray. I laid a white frame over it so there was some contrast between the matt and the black paper I was using to photograph it on.
To enter the giveaway you must be a follower of this blog. Leave a comment saying which photo you would like to win. I will be announcing the winner on Monday, March 18, using the Random Org Generator.

I'll see you next time!

Oh that mule is so cute, and you captured those hairs on his chins perfectly. Love that red barn, so regal looking. Lovely framed photos Barb.
Beautiful pictures that deserve to hang on the wall.
And so cute donkey.
Good evening from Marit.
Hi Barb, lovely photos of the mule. Please enter me in your giveaway, I love the second picture best, the sunset. Thanks,
Joy x x
Handsome creatures. The barn is nice and bright.
your friends certainly did up the barn great. Especially love the mule photos. Did have a country property with ten donkeys at one time in my life. Mine was also a February birthday; we're both Pisceans perhaps? Dreamy fishes ...
Wow Barb! Your photos of your friends barn are so beautiful. What a nice red barn and sweet mules too. The photos for your giveaway are beautiful. I like # 1 and #4 best but am not fussy as they are all so nice. I hope you have a good week. Blessings. Pamela
What a lovely barn! Cute mules, too :)
Oooh, it's hard to pick a photo! But I'd choose #4. I love it! And I'm a follower of your blog :)
Hi Barb and happy belated birthday! Congrats on your blogiversary and on reaching 200 followers too! The red barn is so iconic...great photos of it. I would like to be entered in your give away and win the first picture, also with a red barn, with the sunrise (sunset?) behind it.
Wow lovely photos and so cool that that are re-doing their barn!
If I win I would love the last photo, just stunning.

Wow, they did a great job! It looks like a brand new barn. I love the roof! These are beautiful photos! I'd like #4 if the RNG is nice to me. :-)
oh Miss Barb, that is so generous of you! I would prefer #1, thank you. Yes, the first one, top one and probably the one I have drooled over since I first saw it. Yay, Pick me, pick me.
Hi Barb,
It is so nice to see someone remodeling a barn. I don't see that very often anymore. They did a great job. It is beautiful, as are all of your photos.
Should I be the lucky one, I would pick #3--love the winter scene.
I've always had a fondness for mules; mayhap because my Dad always said I was like one? And the barn! Beautiful as a silver-haired lady ready to paint the town in her new red dress.
If I should win one of your photos I'd be delighted to have you choose; I love them all!
Your friends have a lovely barn. I applaud their efforts to preserve it.
The 'nose and whiskers' image is a beautiful portrait shot.
Hi Barb, I love that last image and would enjoy it very much because snow is basically foreign to me. hugs, Olive
p.s. I am a follower of course
It makes me SO happy when people fix up their barns! I noticed a couple of my favorites with new roofs this week! Hooray! Your photo's look GORGEOUS! They look great with the mattes!
Congratulations on your followers and blogiversary! I like all the photos, but the next-to-last is my favorite!

Congratulations! You have a beautiful set of photos and it's hard to choose. But, if I would be lucky enough to win I'd choose #3 because I love the snow covered evergreen trees in front of the barn. Thanks!

All that red on white is so beautiful! Love the big ol critter, too! =)

ps BEAUTIFUL framed images! =)
What a beautiful farm and those sweet mules look very content.
Beautiful photos, please enter me for the last photo. Thank you. xo
I love seeing people invest in keeping old barns standing proud, they did a nice job on this one!
That red barn reminds me of classic toy one that children used to play with (maybe they still do)with all of the little plastic animals. It really is beautiful.
As for your giveaway, I would choose the third one. I like its wintry feel and looks rather like Christmastime to me! All of the photos are lovely, Barb. What a neat idea for a giveaway.

That mule is so sweet looking...does his disposition match? Love your giveaway...I would choose #4! Congrats on your milestones, Barb!

Barns are always nice but that Mule is just so dang cute. Love them ears. Your pictures are very nice. MB
Lovely mules in a winter day. All photos are great. The first one with sun light is sign of hope and the last one of winter day is calm. So beautiful each piece is.

What a wonderful giveaway. I have never participated in any giveaways before but this one is really special. Your photos are just beautiful Barb but of course my choice would be the very last one...I can't get enough of Red Barns...and this one is absolutely gorgeous and of course my very favorite color is Red. Thank you for inviting me and I will also add this link to my blog sidebar so others can see your beautiful work.
Me again...just want to say again I would love #4!
Beautiful pictures Barb and what a lovely giveaway! I LOVE them all and would be happy with any one of them!! Congrats on your two year anniversary.
Happy belated birthday, Happy blogaversary and two hundred followers congrats..
Your photos are absolutely beautiful. My love of old barns especially red ones makes me go into overdrive seeing these very impressive. I would love to hang one of them on my wall.
Love the mule pics they are so cute. B
Hi Barb, happy belated birthday from me too! I love those donkey photos, they do get so furry in the winter! :D I am a follower, well, a new follower (I could have sworn I was already following you, hmmm). Your photos are beautiful and your giveaway is most generous. I love #4 if I were lucky enough to win.
Hugs,
Beth P
Beautiful animals. I like their long eye lashes.
Stunning barn photos, as usual. The mule is beautiful. What a pretty face.
Great idea for the giveaway, Barb. I would love to win the last one because it reminds me so much of my first Minnesota winter and the fabulous barns I found in the West Central area. No matter what my future holds for me, I will always remember fondly my MN winter. :-)
Hi Barb,
I found you via A Rural Journal.
That is one cute mule face - I'm guessing he feels soft if you pet him.
What a wonderful job they are doing sprucing up the barn. I love how the red barn looks in the foreground of all the white snow. Beautiful!
All of the photos are gorgeous, it's hard to pick a favorite, but I'm going to go with the last photo #4. Please enter me in your drawing and thanks for the opportunity!!

Your photography is stunning Barb, and really brings the photos to life once they're matted and framed.
I'm much like the other commenters and like #4 the best.

I wish I had got to enter...these are all wonderful photos.
