What a difference a day makes

Saturday was a gorgeous day with temps getting up to 70.  Saturday night we had a thunderstorm and rain.  Woke up to 20 degrees Sunday morning and we had snow showers last night.  But last Thursday was a beautiful day when I was out and about and came upon this barn and old shed.

The Beauty and the Beast

This beauty has been used as an event center for wedding receptions, family reunions, dances, etc for the last several years.  However the owner is having health issues and it now sits empty.



This beast has been laying here for several years.  But as I drove by the other day it has all been bulldozed down.


The silo is also gone and the land is being prepared for crops.


We see barns of all sizes and shapes, in all conditions in our part of the state.  You can see barns from all over the world by going to Barn Charm at Bluff Area Daily.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
Until next time

Friday Fences

Next to the silo, by the barn I showed you at Barn Charm, is an old wooden fence.








As you go down the road and look back you can see an old granary and barely see a barbed wire fence corralling some horses.  The granary belongs to the barn owner, but not the horses.

Barn and Wild Phlox

I've shown you this barn before. 



Here it is from a different angle.

But this post is more about the wild phlox and the other out buildings near this barn.  My friend has been telling me to come out and take pictures and so this morning I did since it is such a beautiful day.









I will be showing more pictures of the phlox on Friday Fences.

Octagon Barn

On the way to my daughter's near the Twin Cities is this octagon barn, but you can only see the roof from the road.   I've known about it for years, but never had the nerve to drive up the driveway.  The last time I went to my daughter's I noticed that there was no mail box at the driveway.  So on the way home, I got up enough nerve to drive in, snap a couple of pictures, and leave.






To my surprise, there was a little octagon shed as well.

Friday Fences


This is the same barn I posted at Barn Charm.  It's taken from a different location where there was this old wooden fence.
