A Trip to the Farm



A trip out to a friend's farm turned up this working barn photo - a red barn surrounded with the tools of farming - parts of wooden crates, an old lift for getting the hay up into the hay mow, and off to the side a horse trailer, used for transporting the horses used on the farm.

Although this is a working barn and the door system is pretty new, the barn is in need of some minor repairs - the roof needs some new tin pieces, and a few of the barn boards are in need of replacing but ... a weathered old barn is often a sign of a seriously busy farmer!


The next one is from the same farm above - part of a field used for the cows to graze, with islands of trees here and there, and some pretty big rocks. These areas provide shelter from the hot summer sun for the cows, seen here in this photo laying in the coolness of the shade.
