This old barn is in good shape so it can provide some shelter from all the rain. This barn was built in 1929 for Castleberry Farms.

It has been a cold, rainy Sunday and puddles are getting deeper on my lawn. The pond may be far enough downhill from this barn so that the old wooden barn might provide some dry shelter to critters.

This wall has weathered many years and hopefully the old wooden barn will be standing for a little longer.

When I was driving back from an appointment today, I noticed a couple of old wooden barns which have fallen and collapsed recently. The wooden barn as disappearing from the landscape so it was nice to see this old barn get a new coat of paint and a new roof.

This old barn doesn’t look ready to start a new work week and it seems to be a bit hung over and tipsy from the weekend.

This old barn isn’t providing as much protection against the snow as it had in the past and with more snow on the way, the roof may sag even more after the snow storms.

One type of barn style common in the last century was the bank barns, which are two-story structures built into a bank or hill. If a bank wasn’t available, landscaping was done to create access to drive into the top story of the barn where feed and hay was often stored. The lower level, which typically had three sides available for door access, housed the livestock. This bank barn is located on the Stonefield Historic Site.

I took this old barn and silo photo about nine years ago and I wonder if they are still standing today. Many of the old wooden barns that I had photographed in the past have fallen or have been taken down, so soon it will be hard to find any remaining old barns on my wanderings on back roads.

For many, the weekend means a day off from work, but for farmers there is no day off if there is hay to bale. The watchful yellow smiley face is waiting for the raked field in front of it to be baled up.

Nestled among the big red barns is a cute little red barn and it would be interesting to peek inside it. At least it has a stove pipe chimney so likely it has some heat inside on a cold winter day.
