It's always fun to find something unique while driving around in search of old barns and other rural kitsch. In general, silos are not that uncommon near barns in some parts of the world, but they're not

The LadiesOfHive community is composed of beautiful women (and a few compassionate gentlemen, too!). We come from countries and cultures all over the globe. I try to be sensitive to this fact whenever

Although Creative Work Hour (CWH) launched in July 2021, I didn't hear of it until sometime in 2022, when @alessandrawhite came into a Discord server I frequent. The principle behind it is simple: gather

I think this is a quite lovely barn! It is located on Cedar Rock Church Road, not far from Cedar Rock Baptist Church, which gives the road its name. There is a small mountain nearby which is only 1371

This barn is quite large, but simple in its design. There's a set of double doors in the middle section, and a drive-bay on each side. That's it. But, the barn is quite deep from front to back! This structure

My Old Barn Project was originally started back in 2008 and I was posting the photos on FLICKR, Facebook (which I no longer use, yuk!), and another site or two. None of those other sites provide what Hive

This barn is located along Scotland Road, but I'm not sure how that road got its name... perhaps some Scottish people settled in the area long ago...? Honestly, that is a plausible explanation. Many people

In the last post of my Old Barn Project, I reported how OLD BARNS № 097, 098, 099 are no longer standing. Oddly, this barn, too, is no longer in existence. I did not include this one in the last post because

These three barns are being shown together for a couple of reasons. First, they were found rather close to each other along the same road, as if perhaps they had belonged to a single farm. And secondly,

This is a Curated Content Collection (CCC) of posts containing recipes.

"Comfort Food" is any food that has the magical ability to satisfy the heart as well as the tummy. It is often a food that one might have enjoyed as a child and has a "comforting" quality to it because

Of all the barns in my collection, I find that OLD BARN № 096 is one of the most unique. While its basic structure is similar to others, the façade of the building is what really captures attention! When

In my last post, I mentioned how everything in this world is ephemeral, and how many old barns just get older and eventually fall down (or are demolished when they become unstable). But, that last post

In this world, nothing is permanent, everything is ephemeral. That includes old barns, which sometimes fall apart due to age. In one case, though, one of the barns I've catalogued in my Old Barn Project

It is hard to believe that it has been almost five years since I posted the most recent of my old barn photos — "OLD BARN № 095" — out of my series of 300+ photos. If I'm going to

When @wesphilbin sent me this photo of a barn and said it was between Eldon and Osage Beach, Missouri, I was a bit confused at first. A beach, in Missouri...? Missouri is nowhere near the ocean! As it

Sometimes, it is absolutely insane how many "utility lines" appear in photos I've taken over the years. Even out in the country, it's often difficult to snap a photo of a barn in a field beside the road

I've tried several from-scratch brownie recipes, but this one seems to be the easiest, with a simple list of ingredients and excellent raves from the chocoholics I know! I usually keep a bag of chocolate
