Those walls could all tell stories.<br /><br />There's an old Victorian farmhouse near me that has slowly caved in. I noticed driving by yesterday that it won't be long before it's a pile of boards. I took photographs a couple of years ago and it was still in fairly good condition. Time can be harsh.<br /><br /><a href="http://noteworthymusings.blogspot.com/2012/03/barn-charm-77.html" rel="nofollow">Noteworthy Musings - Barn Charm #77</a>Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861306348634106983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133492074489397406.post-77215488523467095012012-03-21T12:36:22.044-05:002012-03-21T12:36:22.044-05:00Ohhh that's heartbreaking for me to see!

Your fourth photo is beautiful with the fence and the old farmhouse even if the old barn is no more. It needs a mat and frame. The clouds!
