The Big Red Barn



By the big red barn
In the great green field,
There was a pink pig
Who was learning to squeal.

There were horses and sheep and goats and geese--and a jaunty old scarecrow leaning on his hoe. And they all lived together by the big red barn. By Margaret Wise Brown

We had a beautiful Fall day in middle Tennessee, the sky was a gorgeous blue and the foliage just glowed. I could not resist stopping to photograph this barn....it was just calling me. The cows were curious and had to look at the crazy lady taking pictures with her I-phone and then they just ran off. Hope you had a great day too!

    I have a thing about our pieces of Americana ... this barn is gorgeous. I love to just drive up & down the roads taking pics of them. The poem is perfect.
    Have a lovely week. TTFN ~Marydon

    beautiful... this time of year seems ephemeral... and i too share that love of barns... they seem to hark to a simpler way of life, a simpler time... although the physical labor involved in running a farm is daunting! thanks for the pics...

    I love the old barns. This one looks really old. I'm glad to see it's taken care of, they are disappearing.

    Hello
    Thank you for stopping in and saying hello, it is so nice to meet you.
    Love your post on the red barn...One of the things I so enjoyed on my trip to CO was the NE corn fields with all the farms dotting the land. Nothing like harvest time in the midwest.
    Blessings to you
    Rebecca
