Barns...

If I've got my camera with me, I rarely pass by a barn that I don't photograph.

On Friday, my husband's day off, we went for a drive and I captured these three beauties.

My favorite is this one that's barely standing.

I'd love to salvage a piece of the old barn wood.

For Sonography, some lyrics from the song

Grandpa's Barn by the Roys

"There's an old rusty tractor 

Sitting there in his barn 

Still covered in dirt from working on his farm 

Theres an old faded calender 

From Johnson's hardware store 

Still says July 1954 

There's a piece of that ladder 

I climbed where he couldn't see 

I smoked my first and last cigarette 

And I turned john deere green 

No he never told momma 

When he caught me he just laughed 

And said son that won't make you a man 

Today the sun was shining as the family gathered round 

Teardrops were falling as we laid him in the ground 

But i knew where i could come to be with things close to his heart 

There's a lifetime of memories 

In grandpa's barn 

I rolled back the cover 

On his long white cadillac 

At ten years old he let me steer 

Sitting there on his lap 

There's a picture of grandma 

That he kept in the dash 

An old 8-track 

His favorite Johnny Cash 

In a corner of his tackroom 

Underneath his cross 

There's a worn out Holy Bible 

The one that saved him when he was lost 

It said remember son 

You've got to get down on your knees 

And thank God for the blessings you receive 

Today the sun was shining as the family gathered round 

Teardrops were falling as we laid him in the ground 

But i knew where i could come to be with things close to his heart 

There's a lifetime of memories 

In grandpa's barn 

I'm reliving a lifetime 

In grandpa's barn"
