Just in time

One of our historic barns is getting a new lease on life, and not a moment too soon.

Before our heavier than usual snows in February this machinery arrived at the barn used by the Lavender Connection to support an obviously sagging roof. Failing shingles were removed. Then it snowed…a lot. The weight of snow would likely have caused collapse.

Bit by bit the roof is being repaired and replaced. It’s a big job, and no doubt a hit on a pocketbook of any size.

I took this shot in 2017. It was clear even then that its days were numbered. It’s very nice to see it brought back to useful life.

Another one bites the dust

I last showed you this barn in November here. It was pretty sorry looking even then. Its peaked roof was swaybacked and studded with holes.

Still, I wasn’t prepared for such a dramatic collapse when I drove past last Saturday. I can only guess that our recent snows were too much weight for the aged roof to bear.

Winter contrasts

This is one of my favorite barns, taken last Sunday. I love how colors pop against a snowscape.

More snow kept us in on earlier this week. We’ve had some warmer temps and possible rain is mentioned in weather forecasts. Hope so. Most people I talk to are missing “normal.”

Sunday barn

I like living in a region where it’s possible to find working barns nestled into the landscape.

There’s a bumper sticker that reads “No Farms – No Food.” I get it.

January black and white

This barn is located in Agnew, a little community to the west of Sequim. I’d put it in the “seen better days” class though it’s holding its own.

Classic

This is another of my favorite barns. I have a big print of it, in black and white, on the wall of my craft room. I like it like this, in color, too.

That barn again

This is one of those barns that keeps holding on. I’ve shown it to you before. Here’s what it looked like in 2012 the first time I shot it. It hasn’t seemed to change much since last year.
