Harvest

An Amish farm after the shocks were made!

Farm Buildings

A conservative Amish farm, with its typical un-graveled lane.

Yellow Submarine

Obviously the “Yellow Submarine” fits into the theme of this “Legends of Music Barn” near Clark, Ohio. Depending upon your age, and music tastes this will take you back to the Song, that Ringo Starr, one of the Beatles, sang

Fall Colors

An old Ford Farm Tractor parked at the garage looks a newer model than the 8N Ford I learned to drive with. This scene was near Fremont, MI.

Muted Blues and Reds

Through the Brush

A morning view of a farm, which has greeted us this weekend, while staying with friends in Iowa.

Barn Swallow Nests

While Driving an Amish Farrier to the different farms to shoe horses, it was interesting that this barn had at least 30 barn swallow nests. As you can see, they fastened some corn cobs, for a convenient base, making it possible for many more nests.

April Wedding in June

This wedding was originally scheduled for April, but changed so they could have more guests.

Note the tables and lights for the reception in the barn, as well as the tent, to help with social distancing. The wedding is actually 1/2 mile up the road!

The scene I had after dropping off my taxi customers at the wedding. More guests: Arriving by buggy, bike and vehicle!

Ayrshire

This title will need an explanation for most people, but probably not for most people who speak the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect of German.

An Ayrshire is a breed of dairy cattle that originated from Ayrshire in Southwest Scotland before 1800. In Pennsylvania Dutch “shiah” or loosely pronounced shire means, barn. Therefore since this old barn is letting lots of air through it is called an Ayrshire (airbarn), connecting the English and Pennsylvania Dutch to get the name of a farm animal. I suspect this would be considered a “meme!”
