The old tobacco barn project is moving along. It's actually become a pretty functional place for me. Since it's the closest structure to our main garden, I've found it my favorite place to hang out and do my 'garden' tasks. A big flat-bed trailer in the back is where most of that happens. But here are some shots of the front section. Nothing too fancy or finished, but it's become a fun place to eat, read, hang out. Warm and dry when these frequent and strong storms blow through...
Thanks for taking a little barn tour with me. I hope all is well with each of you and that you are loving this beautiful life we are given.
Until next time...
your barn looks perfectly charming!

How nice to see you again!
Your barn reminds me of a place my parents built...with all sorts of recycled, shabby pieces. We had picnics and bonfires there.
They called it the barn.
:P
I have some of the shabby pieces from the barn in my home now. Good memories.
Enjoy the reno.
Looks like a great place to host a party!

Hi Rebecca!
Thanks for the tour. We put our (very small) garden in this weekend and I couldn't get over just how beautiful our yard was and how great it was to be outside in it. Truly a blessing. Can't wait for those little plants to start doing their things...
Take care!

Beautiful! Certainly inviting to stretch out with a good book in the afternoon and take a little bit of a break. Love it.
