On the Road to the Midwest



The "most unique" of all the barns we saw.






Friday was spent on the road westward. Most of today's photos were taken from the car window as we drove down the Pennsylvania Turnpike and into West Virginia. I saw so many neat barns and farm, and wanted to share a few of them with everyone on this journey. There was such a wide variety of shapes and settings, but each one spoke to me of the life on the farm and all the work that goes into the farmer's lives.







I loved this "Drink Milk" barn. I know it must take a lot to keep it so pristine and painted.








This farm set off in the distance is my "Patriotic Farm" with the glorious red, white and blue.


The red barn with the black roof.

I particularly like this barn which I call "round and square". Honestly, I think the round barn is a separate building, but in my photo it has become part of the square barn, which I like.

We drove through 4 tunnels on the PA Turnpike, and I always feel very strange going through the center of a mountain--this is the Allegheny Mountain Tunnel. It is always wonderful to see "the light at the end of the tunnel." We hope to arrive home this evening. "Home Sweet Home!"
