Sunday Heatwave
My local weather info person (Alexa!) tells me it is 41 degrees outside. What a heatwave, I say! Compared to previous days this week, it is positively tropical. But wait! Freezing rain is on its way tonight. Good times, good times.....they just continue. Maybe no school tomorrow, we shall see.
Today I ventured outside for a good walk and a short drive to photograph this old barn. No doubt once part of an old homestead, it became part of a rental parcel with a trailer housed on the land. With the trailer now gone, I parked my vehicle and ventured forth to this delightful structure. Not much of a blue sky to photograph, but the brown and gold hues did not disappoint this morning.
Linking up this beauty with The Barn Collective.

We had an identical day it seems, this is going to stay all week maybe.
ReplyDelete...starting tomorrow, most days here will be above freezing, our fluffy snow will turn to slush! Blue skies have been few and far between lately. Thank Michelle for stopping by, enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteAnd a wonderful old barn it is, I love it! Have a great week, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteWhat's really fun is to dig underneath these old barns. It's amazing what you can come up with, and some of it is valuable.
ReplyDeleteIt is an old beaut, but looks like it's in good repair and is still being used for something. Love old barns!
ReplyDeleteYou caught the light!
ReplyDeleteWhat? 41 degrees, it barely got over 20 here!
ReplyDeleteMark Twain's family was from here and he was my great
grandfather's first cousin, thus my great sense of humor.
Great hues in this shot for sure! Visiting from the Barn Collective.
ReplyDeleteHere in California it is rather hot, not the cold we usually expect in the winter..
ReplyDeleteyour image is beautiful and your weather tropical indeed. send those temperatures my way!!!
ReplyDeletePretty shot of the Barn. We are expecting some freezing rain today too, hopefully a warm week though. Keeping my fingers crossed and prayer for warmer weather. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week!
ReplyDeleteI bet it could tell some stories if it could talk....
ReplyDeleteA great pic, Michelle! We are up to 0˚C here which also feels like a heatwave after the last couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteGold and brown are fabulous Michelle, I'm a bit over blue skies 😀
ReplyDeleteOur temps rose as well and brought us 3 new inches of snow and still falling this morning.
ReplyDeleteIt was 22 degrees this morning while I fed horses and it felt downright balmy!
ReplyDeleteWarmer temps ahead - amen.
You are a master of barn photography.
ReplyDeleteWonderful barn photo.
ReplyDeleteWarm up here too (33 degrees) but it is snowing again.
Love the mood ... the barn, the soil, what they're might be inside, all the stories around it!
ReplyDeleteAnd your new outlook on the blog as well - Really nice!
All the best to you, Michelle!
This is a wonderful barn photo. I hope your weather stays warm. You have a wonderful blog. I really like the page set up. It is easy for me to read as well. I thank you for your comments on my blog. I really appreciate the time it takes to make a comment. I am trying to catch up on many comments.
ReplyDeleteWe did not get the nasty weather they thought we would...well, not as bad from all I heard. I did not have to get out till later in the day.
ReplyDeleteI love how you treated this old barn...
Gads.. I hope you don't have freezing rain and ice. I detest ice storms and we have them too often. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteSeems like the brutal cold is starting to lift up north. Stay warm, Michelle. I like this barn without a blue sky. The brown tones fit it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and surrounding field. I like the starkness of the brown field against the sky.
ReplyDeleteSo many old barns and houses here--abandoned and sliding slowly into the ground. I always wonder about the families who must have lived in such homesteads--and why they all left.
ReplyDelete“Heat wave” here too. I just love that Mark Twain quote. We will have weather, whether or not. And I love that Epiphany is also called old achristmas! Your pictures are stunning!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful photo...love the sepia treatment! Yes, we've been having daytime temps in the 40s...don't know why! I certainly expected more than ONE snow already this winter, but that's all we've had and that was early in the season. Take care and stay warm as those temps drop again. Hope the warm comes and stays for you soon.
