My Aunt's Farm

                                                         All photos on this post by Angela                                                           

As promised I am finally posting the photos I took at my aunt's new home.   I really enjoyed capturing shots of all the out buildings and I'll share a few of her farmhouse, too.
All of the buildings and farm equipment look like they have been frozen in time and it was definitely a working farm back in the day...



I love a red barn, don't you?  In all of it's old patina 






I sure took A LOT of photos!!  Maybe we need a song to cheer us on! "Old MacDonald had a farm Eeeyi eeeyi ooooh"


 I was able to stick around and capture a beautiful sunset, too!


My aunt said it's unusual to see a rectangular corn crib


They definitely had cattle on this farm at one time


When my aunt said they "moved the chickens" I totally thought she meant REAL chickens!  Um I was wrong
but boy it would be cool to have a small chicken coop and get some fresh eggs daily.   My aunt may be like my mom having a fear of chickens after being pecked on her grandma's farm.  


So no animals on this farm - or are there?   See the "dinosaurs" in the trees in the background?

You gotta admit those are some weirdly shaped trees!   I love that this is not too far from the city but yet seems miles and miles in the country.
 Here's the farmhouse which is over 100 years old and deeply in need of a good paint job.  I love chippy and shabby antiques but a fresh coat will make her look bright and cheery again.   The owner is working on it this summer...
Well that's it for now!  I can share dozens and dozens more but it's Sunday night and time to get ready for the work week.   I hope you all enjoyed the pics.   I had a friend's mama tell me that my pics brought back fond memories of her grandma's farm in Iowa.   I love that pictures can take you somewhere that makes you happy!  God bless!
