On a recent trip to Sugarcreek, Ohio where most of last week's posts were from I stopped by a Lehman's store in Kidron, Ohio. The store stocks old fashioned merchandise. You can find oil lamps, cast iron cookware, tin toys, and wood-burning cook stoves among many other items that are shipped worldwide. The store is three pre-Civil War era buildings put together. One side of the store was painted to look like a barn. Here are some closeups of the animal murals.

Hi, my name is Wilbur.
And for all of you who need to see a real critter here is a little bird on a wire. I was at my Moms when it landed on a utility wire just above my head. I thought he would fly before I aimed my camera and was surprised he didn't. However I was only able to get this silhouette. Those little claws hardly look big enough to grasp that wire.To see more Camera Critter's click the badge at the top of my post. Misty would love you to join us. You never know what you'll see!
Love those murals! A wonderful way to highlight the beauty of animals for all to see!
ReplyDeleteAnd your little bird shot is so cute!
Wow! I need a barn. Wait. I can't paint. Well, not like that anyway.
ReplyDeleteWish I could paint pretty pictures like those!
Great shot of the bird on a wire, Carletta.
Thanks for sharing those!!
Love those murals...they are wonderful. Sometimes I wouldn't mind doing some big scene on an inside wall...
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a FAT little bird! And I just LOVE Wilbur! What great barn art! I drive around through all these back roads and see all these beautiful old barns around here - and I keep PICTURING murals on them -- but we only have ONE that I know of in the entire county... and I've already featured it quite awhile back... Maybe I need to build a barn!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed these...real and not.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wonderful murals!
ReplyDeleteThe Moo shot is too good.
Lovely murals. At first, I thought the first one was real.
ReplyDeletei loved the murals! hehe... nice to see a real critter too! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for the building. The horse and colt painting is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like that Wilbur shot. All the murals are great! Wish I had thought of that. :)
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought they were real! I'm fond of murals, and these are wonderful.
ReplyDeletea great way to decorate an old store, and well captured!
ReplyDeletelove the birdie, too :)
That is beautiful!! and reminded me to stop by a store in my village with awesome paintings, saw it driving by and didn't have time to stop. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThose murals are awesome! Sounds like my kind of store! It always amazes me that birds can sit on those wires. Thanks for stopping by my place. Take Care!!

Those murals are absolutely awesome! I LOVE that - I told Hubs that I would love to have a mural painted on the side of our barn.
ReplyDeleteCarletta: Nice paintings on the building and that little bird is super.
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh! I've heard of Lehman's but have never known anyone who has actually been there. OK, I admit it. I'm jealous. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mural! Someone is very talented.
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures of great murals.
ReplyDeleteFabulous murals and of course the bird on a wire is just so cute.
ReplyDeleteWell done ... that's a fun barn. Judging from the opening on your blog, up top, you must be familiar with Shel Silverstein's "Where the Sidewalk Ends." You're opening quote reminds me of that.
ReplyDeleteThere should be more Murals in Life. Nice Post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat place. I thought that was a real horse in the first picture. Fantastic murals - I do like Wilbur. You always have great posts!!
ReplyDeleteOh neat! Someone is a good artist! Great captures Carletta.
ReplyDeleteWow love that mural. The bird shot is to cute. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCarletta these are beautiful. i love murals.
ReplyDeletelovely murals!
ReplyDeleteThose murals are so detailed and realistic. Cool!
ReplyDeleteThe Talk to the Animals song came on when I clicked over to your page and it brought my daughter, Sarah, running over. She loves animals.
Those murals are beautiful! What a great job they did! Thanks for sharing that. Enjoyed your appropriate music too. :-)
ReplyDeleteSomebody worked hard on this. At least this barn won't need mucking out.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. Love the mural, great idea for a place like that. And your bird on a wire is a great capture.
ReplyDeleteOh My....those murals are FABULOUS! My mind is boggled by those with such talent!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteCool murals. I love the live critter too. I always feel like I've gone on a little trip when I visit you here.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent post. The murals are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood idea : if you don't have farm animals, paint them :-) Cute little bird on a wire. Your Amish photos are interesting : their barns look newer than the average flemish farm, that they work with horses instead of engines is something I really value high. (P.S. I've added your link in my list of meme mates).
ReplyDeleteThose are great murals. :)
ReplyDeleteisn't that lovely??Sandy
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun mural!! Neato! Wish I had it. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute..somebody took some time with that...
ReplyDeleteNew Rambling Woods Site
