This old wooden barn still stands proudly in the summer sun even if retired without milk cows in the stalls in the lower part of the barn or the silo being filled.

The sun peeked out for a while today, which shone on a shiny roof on an old barn, with a colorful quilt block on the red painted wall.

Several hundred miles farther south, the trees are ahead in leafing out and flower crabs and lilacs are blooming. Other trees are blooming, like these surrounding an old barn in southwest Wisconsin.

Watching the snowflakes coming down this morning, I think critters would enjoy a barn to hide in, even if it is an old one and they probably would prefer that it was summer or fall instead.

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Another “Throwback Thursday” image is an old wooden barn, as new wooden barns are rare since they have been replaced by metal buildings instead.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.

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.
