Could not resist this photo,poor barn roof probably collapsed from weight of snow or some such thing. Everything was still in the barn all covered in snow. The outside looked in rather good shape. Check out more Barn Charm Tuesday here. |

FRIDAYS FENCES
How colorful can you get? I found these fences while searching for something entirely different. |
Love the color choices they made..very different. |
Imagine how many sets of skis it would take to make a whole fence!
Although these are very colorful I think I would rather have a nice old fashioned weathered
fence.
Made me wonder how long that fence had been there since it was so over grown. I kinda had the feeling that it was held together by the weeds etc. |

LOSING MY CONNECTION..
Posting here in case I am gone for quite awhile. I have had wonderful free wifi connections for over a year now and am very grateful for them. This connection may be coming to an end abruptly though, so just thought I would let blog readers know. I am without transportation and only occasionally get to a free wifi spot here in town.
Will post again when I can.
THANKS FOR VISITING
GOD BLESS YOU ALL..

BARN CHARM TUESDAY
This old barn is still standing inside the city limits of our town, not sure what is stored inside it now. The family who owned it is long gone, the property sold. I just noticed recently that the roof looks like it is sagging in the middle. This barn was the place where groups of kids would gather and make floats for the homecoming parades. Remember when they did that? Oh the hours of hay rides and fun we had in that old barn. It has not been kept up by the new owners, sad to see it this way. For more Barn Charm Tuesday go here. |

MIRACLE CURE???
Lately I have been taking that combination of Cinnamon and honey.
I thought, why not it cannot hurt me. Looking over the information it seemed that it was a cure for just about every thing that ails a person. Well it didn't hurt and I think my throat really is a lot better because of it. The cinnamon kinda burned a little on the raw places but boy the next day.. SUCCESS!! I give it big thumbs up!! I will keep it in mind for other the other things. Check out the information on it.. it seems to be a real eye-opener for me. How in the world it would help some things is amazing if it really does.
Now on to the best cure in the world.. here is something you might not know..
According to ehow.."Vicks Vapo Rub was created by a company originally called the Vick Family Remedies Company. It was part of a line of products. Its success first peaked in 1918 with the onset of the Spanish flu pandemic in the United States. While the company was a family business, it was eventually bought by Procter & Gamble in an effort to round out the company's product line."
Now many other people make their own version of this salve, but I think the original one is more powerful and the best. No one will convince me that it doesn't work because it really does. YES, putting it on the balls of your feet and covering them with socks before bedtime works too. Some think it is only a mind thing, but for me... it worked. I never slept so well. I thanked the person who invented this stuff again and again this past week. I just don't know where I would be all these years without it. Anyone who opens a jar will be transported back to their childhood.. it's a smell that you just never forget.

The weather is turning warmer here this weekend. Surely will help me I hope. I think I will find a spot to sit in the sun and let the warmth of it just soak my soul. It's been quite a while since we saw 75 here in my neck of the woods. Hope your weekend is wonderful!!

BARN CHARM TUESDAY
ALL the outbuildings and barn were yellow on this property. Yes, the house too. wish I could have gotten
a better view of them all in this drive-by shot.
YELLOW BARN...yes it is... here is the kicker... the house was blue the shed was pink and the barn yellow, Another building was Red. It was a rainbow effect at this farm. Quite the eye catcher. I always thought that barns were RED..not so..a rainbow of colors I guess..still looking for a purple barn or maybe a PINK one! For more Barn Charm Tuesday click here.. |

FUTURE OF TV
WHAT???? Yes..this is definitely the wave of the future. We thought the large flat screens were wonderful and they still are selling..but wait.. you may not even need them any more. Here's an enlightening report about what will be changing sooner than we think. NEW TV Here is another COMPANY that will make it easy to watch live tv on our computers..right now only in the New York area, but they will be branching out soon.
How many of us are already watching shows we want to on our computers or IPADS? It is more capable of adapting to our lifestyles now. We can watch almost anywhere at any time. It's the "wave of the future" I was told. "It's going to be how we all watch things from now on." No longer sitting together watching programs but scattered in different locations all watching the same things. Progress makes us all have to move with the times. Sometimes I think it might not be the best thing, but then what can we do about it? Well..that's just something I was thinking about today. If you need me I will be in the bedroom watching the latest video of Duck Dynasty on my laptop. YES..I know..... I know.....

Rockford Dam... Rockford Mi Oct 2012 |
Small dam in our town that helps separate and regulate the flow of water from
two forks of the river. If not for it..the whole town would be wiped out.

BARN CHARM TUESDAY
I love the swing set near the barn, you just know this is a working farm with a family present. The little white building resembled a chicken house. I was sorry I could not get a better photo of it. This barn also had a shingled roof. For more barns see BLUFF AREA DAILY . |

BARN CHARM TUESDAY
I loved the fence and the barn. I loved the colors and the red roof. Most roofs are metal or darker or sometimes white..this one was red. The contrast with the white covering of snow just said something to me. It was a cloudy gray cold day. Both photos were taken in southeastern Michigan. More Barn Charm Barns can be seen HERE |

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!!

WATERY WEDNESDAY
Wednesday is a Watery day and so I am posting my entry for this week. I took this last year at Lake Mi. This is the Badger that makes a round trip run from Ludington to Wisconsin once a day during the summers. The sun was shining on the side of it and you can just barely see the people standing on the upper deck as it comes into port.
Locals use this boat to get back and forth to work and tourists use it for day trips to Wisconsin. You can see that underneath holds LARGE semi's as well as regular cars .
It was fun watching it come in and it blows it's horn on departing and arriving so the whole town knows when it comes in.
