This barn reminds me of an old suitcase covered in stickers. While not stickers, the old building does have a variety of road signs.

While not the typical red barn coloring, this combination of a gray barn and brick building still offers a pretty scene of an era disappearing.

The old farmstead may no longer have activity inside the buildings without livestock under its roof, but the land is still being farmed. Many farmers were working today getting hay cut or baled up.

Another “Throwback Thursday” image is an old wooden barn, as new wooden barns are rare since they have been replaced by metal buildings instead. This barn, which was my grandfather’s, has seen more than a hundred years. It has heard the laughter of children playing in the hayloft, the grunts of farmers stacking hay and the moos and meows of cows and cats sheltered inside.

April showers bring more than May flowers, as it will also bring May planting and the field by this barn will eventually be sown when the ground warms up. But with snow in the forecast tonight and tomorrow, the soil won’t warm much in the next few days. This old wooden barn has a nice paint job but it isn’t a hundred years old yet as it was built in 1931.

This old shed has been patched a few times in the past but it still may let some wind blow through the cracks especially in blizzard conditions although it would provide some shelter behind the wooden walls.

With the temperature below freezing and a chance of more snow, critters big and small will appreciate a warm barn to snuggle in.

As the harvest season continues, barns start reappearing which had been hidden from the road by fields of crops. I love this matching silo next to the barn.

The corn fields are enjoying a sunny summer day after the rains earlier in the week. And more summer days are needed before a killing frost, especially for the farmers who were delayed in planting because of the wet spring.

The year that Abraham Lincoln took his oath as President for his second term amidst the Civil War, a family settled on their farm which has been passed down through generations. Today they are celebrating the 150th year of their family farm with an open house near Baldwin, Wisconsin. This barn was built around 1900 from nearby timber.
