Barn Chicks

Bad blogger that I am I found wonderful and beautiful old barns on a highway in South Carolina.

I had no time to photograph them.

Road trip!

I am re-visiting some images of barns taken this summer.

I played around in Picnik a bit with editing.

I do not know how I feel about the red barn in Focal Black&White.

Can you tell I am a sign freak ya’ll?

This old and chippy rocker is on the porch at the old house.

I gave it some Boost effect and that really brought out the green chippiness.

I am also loving that font from Picnik.

Maybe one day in a galaxy far far away I will purchase Picnik or Photoshop.

I am told editing images is addictive.

I believe.

Do go to Karen’s blog Brayton Homestead Interiors and check out the other Barn Chicks.

Barn Chicks Baby

October’s theme for the Barn Chicks is a seasonal one filled with pumpkins, barns, recipes, and such.

We begin in the  back yard of our old house where chippy and rusty reside in perfect harmony.

Beware this post is loooong.

I have had this concrete pumpkin for about twenty years. He has spider webs in his eyes. They are real.

He weighs about twenty pounds.

Joe asked if I was going to clean it.

Well no.

Every thing we own, that sits outside, the spiders think belongs to them.

Silly spiders.

I found a barn nearby that is rather ominous.

For a Southern barn it is tall.

I almost walked onto a rattle snake while taking these images.

Once again Barn Chicks is fraught with danger. You can read my previous chick post here .

Tom, I did not kill it.

I walked away.

Slowly.

Are you still with me? That barn was chilling to me in broad daylight.

I have no recipes. I know you are thrilled!

Outbuildings at the Old House for Barn Chicks

Joe has numerous old out buildings, barns, and sheds at the old house. You may recall our old house was built before the Civil War. One of these sheds appears to be original to the house. It is very, very old. In fact, I will not go inside it for fear the floor will collapse. As an added bonus you get to see our spider webs. Consider it a pre-Halloween thrill.

The secret is…this cast iron tub is our neighbors!!! I am working (pleading, begging, cajoling) with her to let us have it. It is on our property.

The shed has barbed wire and many unknown items in it. I found a cast iron bed. Farm animals used to be kept in this barn.

This ladder has faded red paint that my photo does not show.

This is the older shed. The door handle is two holes for your fingers. Joe never throws anything away. No we do not own a junk yard. Let’s look closer.

Joe interjected some design (albeit unplanned) in this spot.

We might need the “Oversize Load” sign for my bum one day! I spy a Le Creuset pan.

Please do not be jealous of our over abundant supply of spider webs. ~Double Ick ~Joe reminds me the spiders eat insects.

This yard and the out buildings are different from the landscaped yard at our yellow house but we love the history connected with our old house.

I realize I pictured no apples and that was part of the theme!
