Barn looks like it will stand a hundred years.

Love your posts. You’ve built a beautiful life. Bet there was a lot of hard work.
Hope that’s not too familiar.

Thank you for your kind words. If what you say about the barn comes to pass, it'll be here a lot longer than we will. For someone else and their horses.

It is a photograph that tells of accomplishment and presents it in sheer beauty.
I love how the dark bottom, the splendor in the middle, and the cool blue at the top make it a perfect layout of thirds.

Just totally lovely. Magnificent yet such simplicity !

Will the horses and KC and Shadow be giving us a grand tour any time soon? Congratulations on your beautiful new barn! Which was a labor of love by Laurie, I’m sure!

There's still a lot to do inside before Maddie and Pete can take occupancy, but Laurie and her friend Karen are working at it. There'll be some indoor photos
in next week's Around The Farm.

Nonetheless, wrapping up the outside, new roof and all, is a major accomplishment. Thank You!!
