Loving the Country Life

Have I ever told you that I love living in the country? I have been a country gal all my life and I just

can't imagine living in the city.

I love all the beautiful old barns that we have in

our area and yesterday we took a drive and I

photographed a few.

This setting of barns and old buildings was just amazing. I want to go back and get some better pictures when

I am by myself. Most of these were taken out of the

car window as hubby was beginning to be

*nervous nellie*

with the traffic. He gets that way...not me!

I just want pictures! LOL

I will say that these were on a very busy corner of a

highway so next time I will have to probably park

the car in someone's driveway and walk, but

I think it is worth it! I just love chippy old buildings!

No matter the angle of this setting...pure beauty.

I would love to live here. There was a house , but it was not close to the buildings, so we don't know if it was the owner or not.

The two photos below are how Queen Anne's Lace grows in our area! All along the roads, fields, etc. We literally saw fields that were full of it.

As much as I converse with sages and heroes,

they have very little of my love and admiration.

I long for rural and domestic scene, for the

warbling of birds and the prattling of my children.

It is only in the country that we can get to know

a person or a book.
