Barn Charm


The weekend is over and here it is Monday again. Not much going on Round The Bend. I did watch the Super Bowl  but mostly for the commercials. My favorites were the M&M and Pepsi commercials and Detroit's push at patriotism with Clint Eastwood. I passed on halftime before it hardly got started. It's just my opinion; but Madonna is still trying to be something she's not.

I did have some yard visitors this weekend that were very exciting. Saturday a whole rafter of turkeys came through my background. We always have some around during the breeding season and into fall but hadn't seen any for a few months. There were approxiamtely 25 together. I did manage to get a photo of a few as they were spread out and one did wander underneath the bird feeder to eat a little fallen birdseed. Shortly afterward about fifteen deer crossed the backyard as well. Photos to follow later in the week. Those were the highlights of my weekend.

My train trip weekend last October gave me many barns to share each week. Today I'm posting the last one from that weekend. This one literally sat beside the side road we were on and was hard to photograph. You can make out a couple of fence posts in the lower left hand corner. The fence ran alongside the road with no where to pull off. The barn is plain but quaint in its small surroundings. I want so much for someone to put something on the silo for decoration. I vote for a big barn star or a painted American flag. It would be so much more charming don't you think?

Barn Charm

This little white barn was another barn I spotted on my weekend trip back in October. It is badly in need of some roof repair. I like how it is nestled there below the mountain. A view from the front shows it is storing round hay bales. If you look closely you will see a railroad track running directly in front. I took these somewhere close to Cranberry Glades, West Virginia.
