and you're a thousand miles from a corn field."

About Me
- Sunny
- I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West.
For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!
THANKS SO MUCH-PLEASE ENJOY!

I grew up on a farm, so I can really appreciate the quote. I also like the picture. Great capture!
Wonderful landscape !
What a pretty setting, the barn in between the meadow and the wooded hill in the background.
We used to own a dairy so this quote demands a hearty Amen from me.
Beautiful, Sunny, though I suspect this was taken in an earlier season.
Ok...I am definitely going to talk my DH into a trip to New England next fall!!
I so miss rides through the hills and valleys from New Jersey all the way to Vermont and all the barns, dairy farms, corn fields...Thanks for giving us a tour!
Hello Sunny, you got a super capture here, and Love the words too.
From the Heart to the Heart.
It's so green!
Adorable landscape!

There is a lot of truth in those words. Nice barn photo.
I think I should have been a farmer... anything to do with farming interests me. I've just put some Heart of England pictures on the Picture Blog so I'm in a country and old building sort of mood.
Another beautiful barn Sunny and love the Eisenhower quote.
Love the quote and can apply to most things in life.
this one looks like time stood still, it could be 200 years ago, or today.
Beautiful farm image. I used to try to imagine what life on a farm would be like. Like the quote implies, it's probably a lot more work than one thinks.
Now that would be an interesting barn & property to explore - The history!
I am not a farm girl ---but I LOVE seeing them, Sunny. Such a gorgeous picture of the farm.
Hugs,
Betsy
I love that quote.
... and your photo is beautiful.
I wish my mom were around to see all the great images you've taken of these great old barns. They were her favorite part of road trips and driving through the countryside.

I love to come and enjoy the wonderful views you have of the country, Sunny. This is something I really miss seeing.
Thanks for the respite.
Love the qoute, and that barn is spectacular. If only walls could talk ! Many days of toil and sweat I would imagine they'd be saying.
When I worked at my uncle's horse stables, the barn was a special place to hide. Amongst the sweet smell of the freshly cut hay, hidden away from any chores that beckoned.
Great post !
