Sunday Afternoon Drive ~

Loving the weather so much today here in

Michigan

that we took a Sunday afternoon drive.

I wanted to look for bittersweet,

but also just enjoy the weather ~

{My hubby was even sweet enough to give up

part of the Lions game on tv to join me}

You will see a lot of dirt roads in this part of Michigan~ Spring Hollow Farm is just around the corner from us... a very lovely place, but I feel so sorry for the woman who lives there with her husband. You see she was my husband's school teacher when he was very young and he can tell stories that make your hair stand on end. I am so glad he grew up and matured somewhat. {lol} Another lovely barn on Spring Hollow Farm ~

Lots of red barns in Michigan...

...tucked back among the trees ~

This fence is interesting. There are finials on the tops of

each post and every other one is black ~

I found this kind man along the road and he hopped in my car

and told me he would cut bittersweet for me if we found any.

{hee hee}

Truthfully it is my hubby...he will do just about anything

for me.

I adore porches...

open porches, closed in porches, screened porches

just

Porches~

A lovely fence along our drive ~

Isn't this just as pretty as a picture? So beautiful with the old barn and flowers~

Loving the chippy white here~

I feel sad when I see so many barns just falling apart,

but as a homeowner I also know

what it takes to keep these buildings up and

I understand why so many of them fall to ruins~

Look closely and you will see several turtles on the wood

sticking out of the water. We find turtles on our road

periodically so they probably come from here.

I also had a couple pictures of cranes that landed

on this pond, but they ended up blurry.

I hope you enjoyed your tour of my county today~

Blessings~
