Ahhhhh.....this morning there was nothing to wake up for. No early football practice nor any early basket ball practice. Just a slow wake up with some coffee and a nice long walk to start the day.
I did, eventually, have to make a quick trip to, "town".
I found this barn with one lonely hay roll on my small country road.
This lovely barn duo is at the intersection of a small highway and my little country road.
Finally, I made it back to the farmette. One of the ladies in the yard greeted me upon my arrival.
"Living in a small town....is like living in a large family with uncongenial relations. Sometimes it's fun, and sometimes it's perfectly awful, but it's always good for you. People in large towns are like only children."

what a great quote. a great couple of barn scenes. and a great planter, too! you're just full of greatness! must have been that easy morning. :)
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I am a bit jealous of your gorgeous flowers...they are spectacular! xo
ReplyDeleteI love the barn w/ the lone roll of hay. Peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThat first barn photo is handsome, and then those exuberant flowers. Are they all growing in a planter? That is a great mix of colors.
ReplyDeleteTake your time more often! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove me some barn pix.. I just finished a post on our trip to Gettysburg.. you would not believe the beautiful old farms amongst the historic battlefields!
ReplyDelete((hugs)), Teresa :-)
love the first picture!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous shots!
ReplyDeletelove the photos...love the quotes..love days that start off slow...too few of them..
ReplyDeleteLoving on those barns -- and your planter is gorgeous! Love the variety of flowers.
ReplyDeleteTerra - I bought the planter at the farmer's market a few weeks ago and it has really grown and turned out great.
ReplyDeleteI love that first shot. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteMichelle -- Great composition and color in the top barn and hay roll. I do believe that many women as they age become more solitary. My aunt raised nine healthy children -- she was quite frazzled by the time they all left home. Her comment to me later in her life was --"I love living alone." I think women just have so much on their plate when the family is young and full of energy -- after the children have left women can finally look at their own life and really decide what they want to do with it. I look at my older years as a transformative time. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers!

Love your small town quote...so true
ReplyDeleteThe barn with the hay roll is very special. And to be greeted by such a lovely lady, full of flowers, must be a delight.
ReplyDeleteI long for the those kind of mornings! With cattle, there is always a reason to get up. Of course, on vacation I was the first up every morning. I was hoping I could "bank" some of that early time, but apparently the bank at home doesn't work that way! DANG! ;-)
ReplyDeletelike the quote and the photos as usual are BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteOne can only be thankful for this wonderful journey through your town.
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a good Sunday.
The first photo, of a stark linear barn accented by a round hay bale, and the last one, of the riotous flowers in a planter, are amazing.
ReplyDeleteSuper excited to pass the Liebster Award on to you!! Cheers!
