Another neighbor's secondary barn. There is a beautiful row of white peonies lining the perimeter of this barn. The smell of those flowers as you walk approaching this barn is very nostalgic for me, reminding me of my grandma who always had cut peonies in a basket or in a vase on the table during springtime. The greenery adorning this stays there for prosperity. It is poison ivy & I shot this with my zoom, as me & that kind of ivy don't mix well together & I end up in an oatmeal bath if I get too close to poison ivy. This is part of my 30 in 30 day project for June 2008.

This is a wonderful essay and it is wonderful to see this type of county & buildings that all too often is either overlooked or non existent where most of us live. In my area they are getting fewer and farther between and I find it very sad. Beautiful work.
