A Barn Yarn

The other day, I took a shortcut, and got lost temporarily misplaced.
To my delight, I stumbled across this lovely barn.

You don't see a lot of metal cupolas, especially with
a charming cow weathervane.

Sitting next to the barn in the first picture, was another barn
with a second story door.

This barn had a more traditional cupola.

I think this is called 'natural air conditioning'.

Both barns sit very close to the road.

Of course, I had to take a peek out back, and discovered this delightful scene.

These barns are located in Colrain, Massachusetts.

"To find the universal elements enough;
to find the air and the water exhilarating;
to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter...
to be thrilled by the stars at night;
to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring
- these are some of the rewards of the simple life."
~John Burroughs
