I never found a barn I didn't like. Every barn has a story, and my kids will be the first to agree, I've got a boatload of stories. I can spend hours with an old barn, and the more weathered, the better. They have so much character and beauty, and yet, they are so simple and plain.
I only had a few minutes with this one, but I want to go back and look for faces and patterns in the wood, the big old barn hinges, cracked windows, sagging roof line, the door hardware. What is its secret to a long life? If these walls could only talk, what stories would they tell?
Next time you see a barn, stop and walk around it. Take time to appreciate its beauty and character. Imagine what kind of life it must have had.
