Barn Charm Tuesday!
I have no idea where I snapped this barn! It was one of the group of barns I found on the trip to Fulton last week. This old barn looks like it’s crying to me and oddly enough we were in Fulton yesterday at The Mama’s and I read this article from the Missourian. It is pretty much the same article Tricia linked to last week on her post in Barn Charm with the emphasis on Missouri barns. I hope you don’t mind me linking to it again Tricia, I think we can’t say it enough that our old barns need to be loved and preserved. I am going to be checking out the Missouri Barn Alliance and Rural Network.

Great photo. That poor old handsome barn does look like it’s crying.
I read an article the other day about a group of folks like the ones in the alliance that are refurbishing barns here in the south. It’s a sad thing the barns and the importance of barns is being lost in these modern times.

I agree E.C. about our barns being lost. I want to get involved some way in trying to help. Thanks for stopping by

Oh, what a beauty. And that’s an interesting house in the background.
Thanks for sharing!
February 28, 2012 at 6:51 am
It was a beautiful home. Too bad they didn’t sink some money into the old barn. Maybe they will!

Ah, the benefits of insomnia: love this photograph.
February 28, 2012 at 6:56 am
Thank you for visiting Under the Oaks! Your insomnia or mine?
February 28, 2012 at 8:55 am
You are an extremely talented barntographer Pixaruncus! Keep up the great work of preserving one barn at a time!!
February 28, 2012 at 7:07 am
Thanks Evis Bo Stevis! That means alot to me. That is what I am gonna do, one at a time. I better start documenting where I find them!

The imagination required to see the tear streaks is wonderful…I consider myself imaginative, but then again…maybe not so much! Of course, once you said that, I can clearly see the tears. Love your photographs, and the idea of preserving barns is wonderful. There was one we heard about in Missouri when we were there, but when we went to see it, found that it had been torn down because of some contamination. It was a ceramic tile barn…would have been wonderful to see, but alas, it is gone now. Hope someone has photos somewhere!
February 28, 2012 at 7:17 am
Linda some way I want to get involved in saving Missouri’s barns. I do tend to have a vivid imagination
Always have. My Mom got a little tired of my imaginative self. Contamination! Yikes!
February 28, 2012 at 7:25 am
Neat old barn- looks like it is still being used- great photo!
February 28, 2012 at 7:57 am
Yes! It was still in use
I was a little reluctant to walk up and take a snap. But I overcame my reluctance, clicked and ran

During a recent trip north through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and into Wisconsin I was dumbstruck by all the beautiful old barns. We have some lovely barns in Alabama as well, but different states seemingly have different barns. Some are lofty and tall with cupolas and weather vanes, while some were stout and massive, built for heavy snow while others are clearly designed for horses. Black barns, red barns, brown barns, white barns….I was astonished at the variety. …..Guess I have a thing for barns as well. Love your blog and your photos!

Hi Debbie! So nice to see you at Under the Oaks
Sounds like a great trip you had! Been thinking about you with your new adventure.
February 28, 2012 at 9:06 am

February 28, 2012 at 8:13 am
Hi Tanya! They are all SO charming!
February 28, 2012 at 9:15 am
she’s a beauty. and i love her stripes. poor old girl…
February 28, 2012 at 8:59 am
I know…..feel so bad about her. At least she belongs to someBODY. Wish they would give her a little TLC!
February 28, 2012 at 9:08 am
would love to climb up inside and look out the little window at the farm life below
February 28, 2012 at 9:05 am
It is a good size farm Kate with cows, horses, donkeys, and winter wheat coming up. I think there would be some farm life to see!
February 28, 2012 at 9:11 am
i do that all the time … i take pictures & i think to myself … & wonder where did i take that. hope you can figure it out & go see it again soon. such a great barn. love it. (:
February 28, 2012 at 9:22 am
Thank you Beth! Google Plus
I gotta figure it out!
February 28, 2012 at 9:34 am
Hi sweetie. You finally hooked me! Cool barn. We have so many beauties in this area.
February 28, 2012 at 9:28 am
Cool! I am going to click on over and look
February 28, 2012 at 9:35 am
Love this one. It seems to match the house in the background.
February 28, 2012 at 10:32 am
Thank you Kathy! I am hoping the people in the house in the BG start to give the barn a little TLC.
February 28, 2012 at 2:21 pm
Another lovely barn!
February 28, 2012 at 10:36 am
Thank you Isobel
February 28, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Beautiful pic, Pix!
February 28, 2012 at 12:28 pm
Thank you Nancy!
February 28, 2012 at 2:07 pm
I like very much how you’ve added to this photo!
February 28, 2012 at 12:29 pm
Thank you so much!
February 28, 2012 at 2:24 pm
Lovely processing and yes, they do need to be preserved!
February 28, 2012 at 1:14 pm
Thank you! And I hope they will find a way to preserve them. I am going to try in my small way
February 28, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Yep, Pix, I see the tear streaks from the “eyes”! If these beautiful old barns could talk, I just know they are saying “Save Me”!! Too many of our barns here in my area look like they are on their last legs. Sad!! Here’s hoping that some of these preservation groups will have an impact on people and something will be done before it’s too late. Thanks for the link! And did I say I loved the photo? The house looks lovely, too. Have a good evening…looks like it’s gonna rain.
February 28, 2012 at 2:14 pm
Good Afternoon Cheryl! I would love to see what is up with that link. I am going to do some checking. And YES we better get some rain! We need it!!!!!
February 28, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Okay Pix, my first thought after the first line was that you were spending a bit too much time under the oaks with the sweet stuff, LOL! Lovely barn shot btw.
February 28, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Your too funny Margie! We have been talking about how some barns look like they have faces! I think though it might be almost time for some sweet stuff but not Under the Oaks. It is chilly and windy here with rain on the way!
February 28, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Oh, no, I don’t mind, at all! It needs be brought to barn lovers attention nationwide!
That’s certainly a beautiful barn & your editing has really brought the colors to life
Thanks for joining Barn Charm =)
February 28, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Thank you Tricia! It’s been fun, I am looking forward to next week
February 28, 2012 at 7:18 pm
Crying yes, I can see the tear streaks under the eyes. There is a also a look surprise to me. Kind of a “hey look Pix is stopping by” look.
February 28, 2012 at 3:42 pm
I gave it a good look Christina! It was a pretty farm
I don’t think they will let the old barn fall down.
February 28, 2012 at 7:20 pm
It is a beautiful old barn…will try to find the time later to read the article.
February 28, 2012 at 3:44 pm
Hello Rose! Thank you! You had some VERY charming barns and your silo with the stonework was awesome!
February 28, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Wonderful photography and post-processing.
Regards and best wishes
February 28, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Thank you Tatjana!
February 28, 2012 at 7:30 pm
I really love this one!! It has such character and the color is to die for! Now I’m off to red the article .
February 28, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Thank you Carol! I loved the color too
It was an interesting place. Definitely a working farm.
February 28, 2012 at 7:32 pm
It does look like it’s crying Pix. But with a little maintainance, I think it could be happy again. Great photo of a lovely barn! I’m going to click over and read the Missourian article right now.
February 28, 2012 at 6:59 pm
Well at least it belongs to someBODY and it is a working farm! I think you are right
Thanks for the visit Theresa! Your Longview Farm post and snaps were a treat! And Charming too.
February 28, 2012 at 7:37 pm
I wonder why so many of us are fascinated by old barns? I love them too. It’s a great pic.
February 28, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Good Morning Kim! I don’t know why we are fascinated by them, but they have stolen my heart
Thank so much for your visit Kim!
February 29, 2012 at 7:54 am
Wonderful old barn. It does look like it’s crying.
February 28, 2012 at 9:51 pm
Hello Barb! Thank you for your visit to Under the Oaks
At least this old barn is in use and I would hope that the people who live there would take care of it. Unless they are just waiting to let it go to put up a metal building. Hope not.
February 29, 2012 at 7:46 am
I’ve never seen one so tall. Thanks for sharing.
February 29, 2012 at 1:05 am
It was nice to see a taller one for a change instead of all the short squat ones
February 29, 2012 at 7:50 am
Hi there — I see you replied to comments twice this morning, so I hope that means you’re OK after the tornadoes. Just wanted you to know I’m thinking about you and praying for all who were impacted by the storms. Surely hope all of your family and friends are OK!!! <3
February 29, 2012 at 11:45 pm
All is fine here! Thank you for checking
Our thoughts are with those caught in the storm’s path. We have friends in Lebanon, friends close to Bennett Springs and Branson. All are fine, thankfully. Happy March 1st Little Things!
March 1, 2012 at 6:28 am
Glad to hear y’all are all OK. Thanks for taking time to reply…and Happy March One to you, too! =)
March 1, 2012 at 1:24 pm
These barns were probably crept its way to my subconscious. I just dreamt that I was standing on each of their doors last night simultaneously while taking photographs of the fields — THERE. I love what I saw in that dream. A peaceful place and simple life. Sigh. I couldn’t wait for that time we will be going home in wife’s province for good. A few months more …
March 1, 2012 at 11:35 pm
Sony I will be happy for you and your family when you get to go home to your wife’s province for good!
March 3, 2012 at 6:29 am
Oh…it does look like it’s crying. Such soul in that picture….
March 2, 2012 at 8:28 am
Those barns just take on a personality to me by the time they reach my blog!
March 3, 2012 at 6:30 am
You have so many barns around you! Great photo.
March 3, 2012 at 3:42 am
Thank you Nandini! Yes lots of barns here.
March 3, 2012 at 6:30 am
Small award from me
http://jullianeford.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/the-abc-award-and-one-lovely-blog-award/
March 4, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Thank you so much Rois for thinking of Under the Oaks for these two awards. I am appreciative and honored. I have decided though to become an award free blog since I don’t seem to get them passed on in a timely manner and don’t follow the rules. It is hard for me to narrow down any one blog/blogs to pass the awards on to
Congratulations to you for your awards!
March 5, 2012 at 5:10 am
Great entry my friend ,beautiful
March 5, 2012 at 8:31 pm
