The Barn Collective
Old and new.
Unless one is Amish, the barns going up today are cold and made of sheet metal. This is an old barn, a familiar one with a chicken coop around the back under a shed roof.
Across the road is a new barn. On Easter Sunday it was just a gravel pad. I hear the new structure ran into some turbulent times during a recent windstorm, but that didn't stop construction for long.
Now we have a nice.... barrier? wall? Well, it ain't pretty and the drainage issues are already wreaking some havoc on the neighbors. (I liked it better when it was old apple trees.)

...yep, the weather's finally spring-like! I was in Alfred and Wellsville today and it was almost 60! That's as ugly as a barn can get, but it's BIG. Thanks Martha for stopping by, take care and have a good week spoiling those kids.
ReplyDeleteYup, it's ugly alright. I'd rather look at stacks of apple crates, but no one asked me.
DeleteA good comparison. The old barns are definitely the best, but so hard to do the upkeep to keep them functioning and tight. So many are being lost! Still, I would rather see an old one than a new. We have a mixture of both in our area, but I'd say mostly new.
