It's time for Barn Charm! As most of you probably have gathered by my blog name, I grew up on a farm so barns are very special to me. But, you don't have to have lived on a farm to appreciate them, as I know many of you do. Red barns are a favorite of mine. This pretty barn was taken in Pennsylvania by my blogging friend, Terry.
This barn was also taken by Terry in Iowa. She saw where I had said that my barn photos were almost all gone and that I needed to get out and find some. So, she emailed me and enclosed these beautiful barns for me to use. Aren't blogging friends just the best? Thanks so much, Terry! I also have a few more to show another time.
It might be a while before I can travel the back roads around here searching for barns. We've had so much rain over the holiday weekend that the gravel roads might not be too much fun to drive on. Not to mention some of the local creeks are spilling over as I write this.
My family was all together this weekend and we made the best of the rainy and stormy weather. We did enjoy a pretty day Saturday until the rains started in the afternoon and really didn't end until late Monday afternoon.
I hope your holiday weekend was a good one...rain or shine!

Until next time...
I esp. love red barns and white trim is 'icing on the cake'. This is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is so representative of farm life: a dreary day, but farm work never stops no matter what the weather.
Great friend you have!:>)
How nice that you got to enjoy your family for the holiday.
ReplyDeleteI could live in that red barn. Really nice. Nice share from your friend.
beautiful barns...weather wise it was not a very nice holiday weekend was it?
ReplyDeletei love the red barn - those little windows so fun. ( :
ReplyDeleteMorning Cheryl, I am a sucker for a red barn, beautiful, the other one is too, :) Francine.
ReplyDeleteRed barns are one of my favourites as well!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful barns... they symbolize an American way of life that I love. =) blessings and hugs ~ tanna
ReplyDeletechase your rain to us please, we are still in our drought and our poor trees are dropping their leaves... i love that red barn... glad you had fun with your family, rain or not.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty shared barns Cheryl! It poured here too but I am not going to complain. I don't want another summer like last year.. :) I think you got quite a bit more rain than we did! Glad you enjoyed a good holiday with your family!
ReplyDeleteVery nice barns Cheryl. The red one looks newly painted. The streams and rivers are flooding here too from all the rain but the sun is shining today after an absence of 7 days! :)
ReplyDeleteCheryl - you have extremely pretty barns in your area around there! I like them both. sandie
ReplyDeletea very nice friend! both a red and a white for a good midwestern representation. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet friend, she sent you a couple of good ones. We have been having so much rain and we're still having rain.
ReplyDeleteLove that red barn! But the white one is charming too and I love the clouds in that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks to blogging friends for the photos!
Lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteAnd family being together, make it a great day, even with rain. :-)
"Auntie is in a teaching mood today." :-)
Blogging friends are just awesome.. Terry obviously gave you some beautiful barns.
ReplyDeleteI agree that sometimes we run out of barns to feature.. Sometimes --this meme gets old, doesn't it???? Oh Well.. I love barns --so I guess the meme will continue.
Hugs,
Betsy
That is sweet of them! Now I want to get in on it! Ha!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember my mentioning a barn that was falling into extreme disrepair and them my surprise to see that it had been completely restored? Well now the entire loft end has been redone yet again with big, beautiful, pricey windows. Apparently, the new owners are going to take advantage of their mountain views!
Then not them...grrr this iPad with its own mind!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and a wonderful friend. Hope your rain (and our rain) both let up soon.
ReplyDeleteLove that red barn. Hope it has stopped raining :)
ReplyDeleteSo charming! I love a red barn but they are pretty rare around here.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable discoveries, indeed. But the first photo catches more of my attention. It's appearance is very traditional which is rare in this times. I just hope this will be maintain for more years to come because I've seen lots of barn today that has been abandoned. [KatchMark.com]
ReplyDeleteI am glad your family were all together on the holiday weekend. The first barn, I would like it for a home!! It is too good for the cows!
ReplyDeletewell, wasn't that really special of Terry to provide you with more barns!! We also had a ton of rain this weekend, so I know what you mean about making the most of the rainy weather. I am really hoping the sun returns soon, it has been mighty gloomy!!
ReplyDeleteThere is just something special about the red barns. Charming, indeed.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful barns!! Aren't blogging fiends the best?? Do you remember my Norway barns, sent to me by a longtime friend from high school!!
ReplyDeleteThe red one is so special, with those tiny little windows, what a great find!!
I love them both. The pretty red and the functional white.
ReplyDeleteThe red barn looks too pretty to be used for livestock or storage and well kept as well. Nice to have a blog friend help out. It's a great community out there. We celebrated the holiday be inviting a couple of friends over. Like ourselves, they do not have family in the area.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl.
ReplyDeleteHope your Memorial Day weekend was a good one. I loved your barn pictures and that was such a sweet thing for your blogging friend to send you some pictures to use. I have found that blog buddies are so nice and sweet.
Thanks for becoming a follower on my site.
Yes, I agree, blog friends are so thoughtful! How sweet to share barns with you! Twyla
ReplyDeleteWe are getting our storms here today and tomorrow. We do need the rain badly; but it isn't fun. I don't like to drive in the rain.
ReplyDeleteI of course love your barn pictures and will look forward to more.
I hope things dry out for you soon.
Blessings!
Hi Cheryl,

I always love seeing your beautiful barn photos. I tried to take some on our trip...a few are out of focus! heehee! Enjoy your day my friend!
ReplyDeleteVery nice barns, indeed, & thanks so much to you & to Terry for sharing them!!! =)
