Barn Charm_May 23, 2012_ Alabama barn in Mud Bottom

~More 'BARN CHARM' here!~

This is a barn in north Alabama

 ( Mud Bottom area-near the Elk River) 

where my husband grew up.

  It was a neighbor's barn and holds many fond memories for Charles, of times spent hanging out with his brothers and friends here.

 To a country kid,  in those bygone times, a barn like this was a cool place to spend  your leisure time.

This picture is one of many I have taken

 of this barn over the years. 

It amazes me that so many barns in the south are still standing and , in many cases, are still in use. This one in particular is still in good shape...to be 100 years old or older!

I wonder if farm kids of today still  enjoy the simple pleasures of time spent  in and around old barns like this.

I hope they do!

Every year we make a trip to the north Alabama where my husband grew up. I enjoy riding around the countryside and seeing many old barns that still stand. My husband has memories and connections to  a lot of them and, especially, to this one.

This barn is on the land where my husband's family lived  for several years - from the time he was a little guy until he was about age 15 - if I remember correctly!

The area was known as Mud Bottom,located near the Elk River.

The house that they lived in is not there anymore

 (having been replaced years ago with a new one)

  but the surrounding fields still have crops of cotton or corn growing each year and the old barn still stands!

Love,

Junie

This is from a trip we were on a few years ago.

This barn scene was near Banner Elk, North Carolina!

~Beautiful fall scenery- although the barn is not in great detail~

I've always loved seeing old barns...well, new ones, too, but the old ones have more charm for me.  I always look for barns to capture in my camera lens on our trips to Alabama.

This is one we saw on our trip this year.

This is an old rustic barn we spotted in our world of north Florida.

We don't have a lot of these old buildings in our area so I'm always happy when we find one!  I'm glad this one has been left standing for awhile, though I doubt if it's used as a barn these days. It's right next to a busy highway!
