They were in worse condition than this one and completely covered with vines and growth. One day a while back I walked out and took pictures and checked them out. Did a post. The next week they were burned down by the farmer.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-19049398584873760872014-03-06T17:00:01.348-05:002014-03-06T17:00:01.348-05:00Bye-bye, barn.

Recording the area's barns and location is important for the local historical society. For some reason many folks forget about the barns and outbuildings and what they added to a farm's heritage. I am always sad to see these hollowed places disappear from the landscape. Would be nice if someone recycled the barn wood. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-27112442500426127672014-03-06T09:49:33.015-05:002014-03-06T09:49:33.015-05:00It is a complete change of the landscape.

But if I close my eyes I can still see it... and smell the hayloft... and the silage as it's being put in the silo.... and even see the ferret that was kept in the milking room. But the barn is gone... and when my generation is gone as well, it probably won't be remembered at all.The Odd Essayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168404014947652773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-31617198796940325572014-03-06T06:48:00.531-05:002014-03-06T06:48:00.531-05:00Such a slow, sad death.
