The Barn


 The barn has been in their family for three generations. It's a barn that's in every sense still a barn.

Our friends invite us during the summer and we kayak and canoe and cook impromptu dinners.




 We walk to the lake





Besides for magical dragon flies and we sometimes see a magical monster or two







And lest you think it's a little barn, this is a partial side shot. It's a big barn.

Sometimes at dusk we go outside and look at the house across the street as one, two, six, ten, twenty bats at a time fly out from its chimney, dozens, maybe hundreds.  We stand still and they fly so close but never touch us. It is incredible to see those bats emerge.

I had a nice weekend. I hope you did too. :^)

love
kj

  1. OH!
    I remember this magical barn!
    Don't I,,,from a previous post?
    Or maybe I dreamed I visited there. No matter which, I could feel so at home in that space. The dappled sunshine leading me to climb the ladder,,, maybe partake at that table.
    I can almost feel the barn breezes from my chilhood horsey days. Sigh,,,,perfection.
    Thanks kj, you just made a large deposit to my memory bank.

  3. Hello my dear Twinkly Twin! I love old barns, people who find a way to restore them and live in them, and bats, too. I'm glad you had a lovely weekend.

  6. And a lovely weekend it was too! I love the walk to the lake and then seeing the actual lake. Looked cool. Did you swim in it I wonder?

    Glad you had such good times.
