Wisconsin Barn in July

Wisconsin barn under a beautiful summer sky

This is one of my favorite barns in the area. Of course I love the stone foundation, (remember my love of Yorkshire??), but I also like the deep red of this barn. There are many white barns in Wisconsin also, but there's just something about the deep red barn that, in my mind, is stereotypical of the Wisconsin family farm barn, probably because my grandpa's barn was red.

When I took the photo, I was so focused on getting the picture of the barn that I didn't notice if it was still in operation or not. When they're not, (in other words, if they don't contain those warm cow bodies) it's only a matter of time before our harsh Wisconsin winters and spring thaws cause their foundations to crack and heave. Then, inevitably, the barn caves in. It's sad to see how many barns in our area are disintegrating. Eventually they will only be a thing read about in coffee table books.
