Barn Charm……Just A Memory

Several of my previous Barn Charm posts have featured a particular barn, located just outside the town limits of Smithfield.

I’ve shared pictures of it with a winter wheat crop, ripe for harvest, in the foreground.

Just after a section of a shed collapased.

And with a cotton crop waiting to be harvested.

A few months ago, we heard that these old barns would be demolished. And, sure enough, soon we saw signs of that happening.

This next picture was taken last Friday afternoon. (Again with a winter wheat crop in the foreground.)

And this one was taken yesterday.

The property is for sale; perhaps it will sell easier with the barnyard gone. But I’m sad. I’m sure I won’t be the only one to miss seeing those old barns and silos.

 So, as a tribute, today I’m sharing a photo of them taken last January at sunset.
