Our Old Pink Barn



This is the west side of our barn. When we moved here five years ago the whole thing was just about to collapse. It is so much work to turn an old cattle barn into a ten stall horse barn but we are still working on it. We now have five horse stalls on each side. When we completed the stalls we were so proud. We were telling people about it in a fashion that would surprise most folks. We were proud like we were saying that we had a 10 bedroom house instead of a 10 stall barn. I call it our old pink barn because the red paint has long since faded. One of the locals told me that back in the day, when he was a very little boy, that our barn was the biggest, newest, nicest barn in the area. The man that told me that is a senior citizen now, so I guess that makes our barn at least 60 or 70 years old.
