Barn Charm.

Chris Texture
It will soon be time to go adventuring for additional barns.
I believe this is the last unpublished barn photo taken
this summer.

The farmhouse is long gone from this particular farmstead.
Likely razed to make room for more crops.

You can download the "Chris" texture I used
in the Box.net widget below.

On a side note, 

we said goodbye to our little Dahli this weekend.

She had been suffering from kidney failure
for the past month and we both agreed
it was time to let her go.

You are now at peace, my sweet girl.


Dahli
2001 ~ 2012

  20. Nancy-
    The final act of caring for your pet...also the most difficult. I know what it's like.

    On a more positive note - now you have to search for more barns to photograph! A good problem to have :)

  21. So sorry about Dahli! My son and DIL have 2 beagles and a cockerspaniel and they also foster dogs (yeah, it's like a kennel over there!). The cocker has really been ill lately but they have not made a decision. A hard decision but the best for all. Hugs to you and yours!
