Barn Charm, or What I Do with an Afternoon Off

I had my boots on, and the afternoon off.  

With no set plans except to sit and read at the new tea room later, I took off with my camera.

There are plenty of new barns in the area, but I do find these old beauties charming.  Our countryside is greening up now as we've had so much rain.  I try to remain thankful for the rain as I know it is what will help us grow our crops.

It is hard to remain thankful for the gray days and rain, but I came across Psalm 65 earlier this month and wrote it out for my windowsill scripture holder.

⁹ You care for the land and water it;
   you enrich it abundantly.
The streams of God are filled with water
   to provide the people with grain,
   for so you have ordained it.
¹⁰ You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
   you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty,
   and your carts overflow with abundance.
¹² The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;
   the hills are clothed with gladness.
¹³ The meadows are covered with flocks
   and the valleys are mantled with grain;
   they shout for joy and sing.

So, I'll be known as the crazy city lady who chases chickens, and goats, and is seen prowling the countryside taking pictures of old barns, even in the rain.
