More, in THIS case, is a Good Thing

Today, while yardsale-ing we were on a quest to find a barn with an American flag painted on it. Not to buy (of course), but to get a picture of for my MIL. We didn't find one, but found a bunch of other beauties. A big shout out to Matt who didn't grumble once when asked to "pull over - I need to take a picture!"

But . . . not to completely disappoint . . . we found a sweet American Flag painted on the side of a VFW in Frankfort, KY.

Keep Out!

This evening we went to Frankfort to let the kids play in the Elkhorn Creek. Yes, we are THAT cool! However, it took us FOREVER to find somewhere to park. Sooooo, we went to the Elkhorn Campground and purchased a visitor pass so we could park on their property and walk down to the creek. While in the campground area, there was this GORGEOUS barn that was about the crumble to the ground with the sign "Keep Out" posted on it. I was wondering if they put it there so you wouldn't be the unlucky person it happens to fall on??? Anywho, I was thinking that if the sign wasn't posted on the barn, Stalker Sarah should get her family picture there!!

Across from the barn was this cool sign I want posted in front of my house.

(It reads, NO MOPED OR JOY RIDIN)

One of My Favorite Things

Today I had to do Census work in Owenton, KY. I've decided I just might move there. It is a very pretty town. The people are friendly, the scenery is magnificent, and the commute to a "big city" is minimal.

On the way there, I passed a very cute barn with a darling barn"quilt". I'm ALMOST positive that is what they are called. However, just like most days, I was behind schedule and didn't stop to take a picture. BUT, I remembered exactly where it was so I could stop on my way home to get a picture. And that I did! This barn quilt was a little different from most that I have seen. Most look like a traditional quilt using shapes. I thought this was so cute since it is the pattern of the quilt my Mom had made for my Grandma. Cute stuff!

My dad LOVED barns. He enjoyed the roadtrips to Kentucky since he was able to see lots of beautiful barns. I have picked up that love of barns too. How can you not love a beautiful barn. Whether newer or almost ready to fall, barns rock!

Are ya with me?
