BARN CHARM TUESDAY
This was a neat cow barn filled with hay taken in northern Michigan. You can see below how they keep their calves in tiny little houses all their own. So cute. I am wondering if they keep them inside there all winter long. Wish I could have stopped and asked many questions. It was a very nice working farm. More Barn Charm Tuesday photos here.. |

BARN CHARM TUESDAY.
We got a slight dusting of snow last week and some of the barns in our area were just so wintery looking. I decided to share those here for BARN CHARM Tuesday. You can see some other great barns at the link listed.

BARN CHARM TUESDAY
What amazes me is that the barn looks sooo old and run down and yet they put a brand new roof on it and the smaller barn. Goes to show that even though it looks old the wood may still be good. What talent it must take to put a name on the roof like that and get it perfectly centered in white shingles on both sides..etc. I guess there are roofers and then there are professionals that know their business. This barn and property has been there a long time and so I am sure the family is proud of it. There was snow as of Saturday but now the rain and temps rose so today the field is brown.

ORANGE YOU GLAD....
Okay..I went into a store and saw this sign and just kinda wigged out. Why oh why could management NOT SEE that terrible mistake? It is large and very obvious.
SO it was describing a new product, and the display was not really big. It didn't take them long to do it. Shows how someone can just do their job and never mind the signs. Well of course, me, I had to tell someone about it. The clerk had no idea what I was talking about. She told me to tell the Asst. manager on duty. I walked around looking for anyone in charge. Well "just forget it" I thought.. never mind after a few minutes of finding no one. I decided to check out and the clerk asked me if I found her. I told her I hadn't but the sign was pretty large. She said she would tell her. Couple of days later.. I came back in and there was the sign still there. I know anyone can make mistakes, but this just irked me.
I decided to find someone this time and let them know. Sure
enough I did find a manager and took them over to the sign. He laughed in my face and said no one else had noticed it. Well I didn't believe him. I said..
"Well I am sure they did and just figured no one was smart enough to take it down and correct it." Ohhhhh I got a nasty look from him.
AS I WALKED AWAY I SAID
ORANGE YOU GLAD I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT NOW!!!

WATERY WEDNESDAY
I really like adding photos to Watery Wednesday. I guess that's because I love the water. I don't so much love boating on it..just watching it. I sure do like to stop and watch waves or listen to it. Something about it calls to me somehow. This week's photo took place in Indiana. I was down there on a short visit and went for a walk and found this footbridge running over a quaint little creek. {Click for better views)
This tiny creek rises a lot when it rains in the spring season. I love to listen to the water moving slowly over the rocks. It truly was a restful, peaceful and very green place where I could have lingered all day long. Someone asked me if I had one of those waterfall things in my house. I sure don't, I don't think I could listen to it night and day.
Below is a photo I took of Swans in the winter of 2011, I just could not believe how many there were in that cold river.

BARN CHARM TUESDAY
This is Barn Charm Tuesday and this week I entered this photo. Does it look to you like the big barn is a house? As I drove by I wondered if someone made their home out of the large barn. Several other smaller ones around it and sheds. Sorry it's a little fuzzy as the sun was shining right at me. I can't imagine the cost of heating a barn that size here in Michigan in the wintertime!! (Click for better views.)
The second barn this week is a barn I pass on the way out of town. It looks like it is pretty old and ready to be torn down. Doesn't look used anymore but still retains some of it's color.
We might be in for some more of the white stuff around here.. not sure if it will hit where we are as bad as Indiana or Ohio though. I wonder how these birds can stay on the ice like that it makes me cold just watching them. They sure started honking as soon as I stopped to take their picture. They have been around all winter this year.
DON"T FORGET TO PUT YOUR CLOCKS AHEAD ONE HOUR ON SUNDAY!!
