Since I began linking up to Barn Charm every Tuesday, I’ve started noticing barns that I’ve passed by for years without really seeing. This barn is located between my home town of Bacon’s Castle and the next larger town of Smithfield. It sits rather close to the highway behind an old country store that’s been closed for years..
This old barn saw me passing by on Saturday mornings as a child when Mom and I would travel to Smithfield to do our weekly shopping and have a lime-ade at the drug store soda fountain.
This old barn watched me as a new high school graduate travel to work every morning in Smithfield and return home in the afternoon.
After I married, and Marshall was born, this old barn saw us drive by every Sunday morning on our way to church and back home again in the afternoon after lunch at my Mom’s.
In recent years, the old barn has seen me travel by less often.
Although I’ve passed by this old barn more times than I could count, I can honestly say that I never really saw it until a few weeks ago, when Motor Man pointed to it.
It’s leaning so badly, the picture almost appears distorted.
We thought I should get pictures while it’s still watching folks pass by.
That may not be the case much longer.
Linking up to Barn Charm.
