New England Farm

gets off the mountain,
and the snow won't get off the mountain
till it gets warm."

But while it's on the mountain it sure is pretty...especially in your shots Sunny. I also love the Woodland Road image...did you get out of the car???

Happy days

Now that's something to think about, eh, Sunny! Excellent. The snow looks so clean. Is it?

Wanda said...

That's a good example of a BIG barn! Look how small the double doors look!

I just realized the house and barn are almost exact replicas of a "farm house and barn playset" I have...leftover from grandchildren's younger days!

Sunny said...

Hello Sunny :)

I absolutely Love that quote !

I absolutely Love this beautiful country scene....the snow, and the perfect house *sighs* and awesome barn with such character ....oh oh.... now homesick for the countryside in lower Michigan.

Beautiful music I hear playing too!


Was nice visiting your blog :)

That sooooo sounds like something my Mom would have said to me if I asked, "When is it going to get warm?" Sending some Texas heat your way...

Wonderful Blue against the vivid red barn! Thank you for being willing to go out in the burr chilly cold to take such wonderful pictures!

Very pretty. I have always wanted to visit New England but have never had the chance.

I ahve always wanted to take an old barn and convert it to live in.....

Patty said...

This photo looks like it could easily become a picture puzzle. Very nice.

The snow pictures are beautiful sunny, but I especialy like the New England Proverb.

I've been watching your blog but have not commented. Have'nt posted to my blog in 5 days, I'd better get busy.

Tricia said...

Oh I imagine that's the truth of it, too. Bee-U-Tee-Ful red barn in the snow!

Dan Felstead said...

Sunny! I had to read the quote twice but I love it...it is quite true isn't it!

How about the ice, when will it be gone? We have a lot of ice for kool aid around here. I will lots of sticks to pick up in my yard, when the snow goes away and it gets warm or vice versa. I am glad they still paint red on their barns out there. It isn't very common around here. Heck barns are very common around here any more either. Take care, the piano music helps my bad mood.

A really lovely picture Sunny. Years ago when I worked on a farm, the old boys used to say (refering to a TV mast) if you can see the Belmont mast it's going to rain and if you can't see it, it's raining

I know guys are not supposed to say lovely but that is a lovely picture sunny. I love it.

Betsy from Tennessee said...

Great Sunny... Love the red barn with the star on it... Red is so pretty against the white snow.

Hugs,
Betsy

Beautiful shot such clarity in the light and contrast.

Splendid Little Stars said...

wonderful wintery photo! The bright red barn warms the whole landscape/ That, the blue sky, and the star add cheeriness that would be absent otherwise. (The blue sky helps as well.)
love the saying!

George said...

I like your New England proverb. I also like this beautiful scene.

Lois said...

What a beautiful barn!

It's so pretty in that part of the state. And as for the proverb well that may happen a time or two before it finally settles down and turns to spring...
