Big Old Barns

I have an obsession with old barns. There's something so fascinating about their walls, the structure of them, and how they age. They are beautiful, and I hope that one day my property has a nice, big old barn for me to explore on it.

I love all of the wood, and the textures that old barns have. There's history hidden within their walls. They tell tales of hard work, and they have paid their dues to this world by being a place of safety and refuge for many beasts.

Exploring big old barns is nothing new to my husband. He grew up on the cutest piece of property that had a lovely old barn that was full of adventures and exploration. As the barn got even older, it became unsafe and eventually had to be torn down, but all of the memories that he has stored up of that old barn are fantastic. I envy the fact that I didn't have a big old barn to play in when I was younger! On the other hand, we have a lovely chicken barn and stable, so really I shouldn't complain!

Here is a picture of my stable, and my horse.

And here is the chicken barn, and my horse. 
Maybe one day, people will pass by my stable, note it's age and ponder exactly what happened in that spot. Hopefully they will get the sense that the horses that were kept there were dearly appreciated, and loved by two girls.
