Barn Charm at Tricia’s Bluff Area Daily
I have no idea where this poor old sad little barn was snapped. It’s sweet though in a dishelveled kinda way. CH was zooming all around and up and down and I thought I might get a little woozy. But I got my picture taking wits about me and hopped out of the car and sat down in a bunch of weeds and clicked. I made the trip all kinds of fun for CH because I whined about poison ivy all the way home. It was just going to be an hour barn hunt but by the time we were detoured by a bunch of bridge building guys and waited forever on repaving it turned out to be a three hour trip. I think this might have been close to Vienna, Missouri. Sadly no cheeseburgers were consumed on this trip. Road trips for barn shots are just the bestest excuse to experience cheeseburgers in Missouri’s small town diners.
Poor old barn.

It was worth it, it’s a lovely barn and I like the way you get it so it looks like a painting
You making my mouth water talking about cheeseburgers.
Hope the poison ivy didn’t get you bad.. xxxx00xx

I know! I know! I want a cheeseburgah right now although timewise it is better for you..
No poison ivy yet! Just an excuse to wine, oops typo didgeridoodaz, whine at CH.

Just gorgeous! I love the setting, and your editing. Our hubbies really go through something on our “barn storming” trips, don’t they?
October 23, 2012 at 5:45 am
Yep the hubbies make a supreme sacrifice. CH is along for the possible chance of FOOD! Although he has been a sweetie about finding some charming barns!
October 23, 2012 at 6:20 am
wow, what a lovely barn. such character. (:
October 23, 2012 at 5:59 am
Thanks Beth! It actually did have lots of character in person..
October 23, 2012 at 6:21 am
I agree this photo is so beautiful and could almost be a painting-those ma and pa diners are the best
October 23, 2012 at 5:59 am
I know! I love diner food!! Thank you on the kind words about the sad old barn..
October 23, 2012 at 6:22 am
Poor tumbledown wee thing.
Poison ivy! Yikes. We don’t have that here thank goodness. Stinging nettles are about the extent of our plants with attitude.
October 23, 2012 at 6:07 am
Hmm I wonder if we have stinging nettles? I like “tumbledown wee thing” Isobel. Your wonderful words! I hear you now..
October 23, 2012 at 6:26 am
Yes we have stinging nettles .
October 23, 2012 at 5:06 pm
Owwwwiiiiiieee. I will have to google and see what to look for. Thanks Carol!
October 24, 2012 at 7:45 am
Love that barn!
October 23, 2012 at 6:11 am
Thank you Cecelia!
October 23, 2012 at 6:27 am
Oh Pix that barn is great……it really fits in all that beauty too – I kinda think after its’ hard life, sitting in the nice green grass with petty trees all ’round is totally what it deserves….then to have you capture it on film – it’s icing on the cake! (which sounds almost as delish as a cheeseburger right about now!!).
Hugs, Pam
October 23, 2012 at 6:59 am
I have cheeseburgers on my mind today! It really is a sweet little barn, I would love to see it get some TLC!
October 24, 2012 at 7:46 am
This shot was worth the aggravation….The Hubs n I love going out off the beaten path looking for Barns n old fences!
October 23, 2012 at 7:30 am
Off the beaten path finds some interesting barns and other things too..
October 23, 2012 at 8:57 am
Love the little barn, CH is so good, but than cheeseburgers are a good bribe.
October 23, 2012 at 7:37 am
Hi ya Katie! Pretty hard to turn down a cheeseburger..
I love that little barn too. And it really is little. I would like to move it here to the Tiny Ten!
October 23, 2012 at 8:58 am
Love it! Come visit me. I have lots of barns to show you!
October 23, 2012 at 9:40 am
I would love to visit you! I know exactly how to get there too..
Well, to your bit of country!
October 23, 2012 at 9:42 am
beautiful little place – love your edits!
October 23, 2012 at 10:00 am
Thank you on the edits Tex! I really wanted to bring it home with me to the Tiny Ten. Enjoy your Wednesday.
October 24, 2012 at 7:48 am
The barn is lovely, but hearing the whole story behind the photo makes it perfect! Thank you for sharing all of it.
I was just sayin’ to my guy: let’s have a food-destination, then I’d really enjoy a day-trip. (We live along what is scarily referred to as the I-5 corridor, which means there are gazillions of people and tons of concrete to face. But if there were food at the end? OK! I’m in!)
October 23, 2012 at 10:00 am
FOOD is a great motivator. Cheeseburgah may be on the agenda today..
Can’t take traffic much anymore so I understand not wanting to get on the I-5.
October 24, 2012 at 7:51 am
will look forward to a blog post about the food!
October 24, 2012 at 6:00 pm
What a find & what a beauty! Looks like a beautiful setting…. Thanks for joining =)
October 23, 2012 at 10:29 am
It is a cutie! Thanks go to you Tricia..
October 24, 2012 at 8:13 am
Damn, no cheeseburgers, but a road trip nonetheless. I think this barn got a face lift with your treatment! Margie
October 23, 2012 at 11:29 am
Thanks Margie. At least it got some love. I would have liked to bring it home..
Good Morning to YOU!!
October 24, 2012 at 7:53 am
Small town dinners make the juiciest, greasiest and tastiest burger on earth.
It looks like a painting.
October 23, 2012 at 11:55 am
So true about small town diners. I think we will have to find one today! Hope you are enjoying your BRACH’s candy corn Leo..
October 24, 2012 at 7:54 am
Nice composition on this lovely old barn.
October 23, 2012 at 12:28 pm
Thank you Rose! Good Morning!
October 24, 2012 at 7:59 am
Charming little barn, love the paint effect.
October 23, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Thank you GB!
October 24, 2012 at 7:55 am
Love the shot! There’s just something about a falling down Barn that is so compelling.
October 23, 2012 at 5:07 pm
I know! I know! Poor old things.
October 24, 2012 at 7:56 am
The sad little barn at least lives in a lovely setting!
October 23, 2012 at 6:21 pm
So true! It was a beautiful little meadow. Thank you for the visit!
October 24, 2012 at 7:57 am
This looks like the ones I pass on my way to school everyday. It is not going to be standing for long with that much roof damage. We have a hole in our tin roof and HAVE to get it plugged. It is amazing how much damage just a little hole to the loft. Not Good. Your capture is so nice. Nicely composed. genie
October 23, 2012 at 6:31 pm
Thank you Genie! Yep, I wonder if it will make it through the winter….
October 24, 2012 at 8:15 am
This barn has solar lighting! It’s a cute little place. No cheeseburger? That’s not right.
October 23, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Not right is right. All kinds of wrong. Might have to right that situation today..
October 24, 2012 at 7:39 am
If only those barn boards could talk…what would it’s story be?…I do hope you are not itching this evening Pix…sending greetings from Maine, Julie.
October 23, 2012 at 7:48 pm
No itching! I wish they could talk too and I am sure they would be asking for some TLC!!
October 24, 2012 at 7:37 am
Gorgeous little abandonned barn . . . then, again, maybe it’s an old cheeseburger shack?
October 23, 2012 at 9:38 pm
Now that would have been fun!
October 24, 2012 at 7:36 am
Well, this is just the cutest little barn — love your editing. xo
October 24, 2012 at 6:14 am
Good Morning to you Nancy! Thank you for your good words..
October 24, 2012 at 7:35 am
There’s something fascinating about an old barn. In our part of the world, they are mostly made of stone and they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
October 24, 2012 at 9:45 am
I love a stone barn!
October 24, 2012 at 10:44 am
Hooray for Missouri! It’s the most wonderful place! LOVE your barn! Cheeseburgers and barn hunting=heaven!
October 26, 2012 at 10:16 am
Hi Jori! You are so right about cheeseburgers and barn hunting. They go together like biscuits and cream gravy!..
October 26, 2012 at 2:50 pm
What a lovely rural scene!
October 29, 2012 at 6:50 am
That little barn had a lovely place to sit!
October 29, 2012 at 7:17 am
What a lovely barn – it has so much character and I bet lots of stories to tell. Lol I use food and coffee stops to lure the hubs out on photo trips too – works like a charm!

It’s always about FOOD!

Come to PA. Tons of old barns like that! They’re sad and pretty at the same time. It’s the old houses that I see in disrepair that break my heart! The ones with the gingerbread and big tall glass windows and transient windows above the front doors! The front porches with the wrap around porches…..those are the ones that I love!
November 3, 2012 at 4:29 pm
I know! It is always sad to see an unloved house. We are trying to preserve the old barns in Missouri.
