I loved some of those barns especially the red one with the flowers......such a lovely idea to decorate a barn, not something we ever see here. Hoping things slow down a little for you- they feel pretty busy here too!

I love the barns and the artwork on that one barn is really pretty. Your bike rides are so interesting, Sue.

Love all the photos, the red and white barns in particular and that wind farm was very interesting.......Seeing the turbine near the barn really showed how large those things are.<br />I certainly hope you do get some more sunshine and warmth before descending into Autumn. I won't mention time marching on as I feel exactly the same way...:(<br />I'm loving the change of season here, Spring is springing by degrees. The Manchurian Pears by the dam are in full flower. I can see them as I sit here (in Bed) and type. The birds are busy looking for nesting places and the bees are buzzing happily in the orchard. Such a lovely time of year. Have a great weekend.....xxClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-88367030464645777852015-08-27T15:23:10.280-05:002015-08-27T15:23:10.280-05:00I am not sure what is going on this summer but the...I am not sure what is going on this summer but the time is flying by and there just does not seem to be any time to blog.I feel a bit guilty about not posting enough and even worse about not reading and commenting.

We are just back from our summer holidays at the Sea and it is so wonderful that I find white sand almost everywhere. I started to put every tiny little bit in a jar. Let's see how much sand from the beach I'll be able to collect. There are several pockets I haven't checked yet and still some bags to empty. This make me happy these days.

I enjoyed all the photos and my favorites are the old barns. I'm glad they're being taken care of in your community. I heard that each day a 100 old barns are lost to lack of upkeep in the USA.
