The perfect journey is never finished, the goal is always just across the next river, round the shoulder of the next mountain. There is always one more track to follow, one more mirage to explore.

 "Whenever I need to leave it all behind 

Or feel the need to get away-ay-ay 

I find a quiet place, far from the human race 

Out in the country 

Before the breathin' air is gone 

Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time Out where the rivers like to run 

I stand alone and take back somethin' 

worth rememberin'" - 

Songwriters: Paul H. Williams / Roger S. Nichols 

Sung by Three Dog Night (one of my faves!)

It used to be that we would see Mail Pouch Barns advertising chewing tobacco or "spit tobacco" - Now we see these barns cropping up that say "Save Face" - and on the other side it says "stop spit tobacco."

Quilt Barn

I found some interesting info on Wikipedia about the history

of Quilt Barns:

A quilt trail is a series of painted wood or metal, hung or free standing, quilt squares installed at various locations along a route, emphasizing significant architecture and/or aesthetic landscapes. Currently North America has quilt trails in 43 of the United States as well as in two Canadian provinces. The first official quilt trail was begun in 2001 in Adams County, Ohio. Donna Sue Groves wanted to honor her mother, Maxine, a noted quilter, with a painted quilt square on the family's barn in Manchester, Ohio

The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes, and surely it is in the everyday things around us that the beauty of life lies.

Virginia Farmland

One of the things you learn when you live on a farm is that change comes at you whether you´re ready for it or not. Every season is punctuated with its own smells and tastes and you find yourself looking forward, waiting for the next thing to come along so you can take a bite of it.

Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful World, 

With the wonderful water round you curled, 

And the wonderful grass upon your breast, 

World, you are beautifully drest!

Little Red Barn

The perfect journey is never finished, the goal is always just across the next river, round the shoulder of the next mountain. There is always one more track to follow, one more mirage to explore.

The true secret of happiness lies in the taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

On The Farm

Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all. 
~  John Greenleaf Whittier

Rainy day at the farm.

Country Life

A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.

 - Leo Tolstoy

Out in the Country

If country life be healthful to the body, it is no less so to the mind.  

~ Giovanni Ruffini

Barn in Autumn

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad. 

~ Edwin Way Teale

Barn

There is only now. And look! 
How rich we are in it.
