I don't know if I posted this photo before. Look at that poor, bored horse. I think he just wants to get on with it and do his job. Instead, he dutifully stands there, a picture of perseverance.

We spent the weekend in Westby, WI, one of my very favorite places, although none of these photos is from Westby. It was a dual-purpose trip - a) because we love it in that part of the state and b) because we were delivering some old school slate chalk boards to 6 different Amish families. We had perfect weather, mid- 70s and blue skies. Kevin's cousin is a great host and makes sure we get to see the important things. The landscape reminds me of the Yorkshire Dales without castles and abbeys, but with a lot more trees. A lot more trees! I will be sharing those photos eventually.
I hope you all had a great weekend too!

Oh I love everyone of your photos I especially love the rusty door latch:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to do delivering the slate boards to the Amish we have a few of those. Beautiful photos thank you. Hug B
Nothing can compare with the old windmills. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWhether you have posted them before or not, they are new to me. Love the patient horse. I think that windmill would make a great painting. I hope you manage to find time for the job and post the results. That rusty door latch is awesome!
ReplyDeleteJudy, how clever! Post Rubbish Tuesday on Monday and be ahead of the game!
ReplyDeleteRepeat photos are just fine with me. But since I'm new to your blog, everything is new. And since I forget so easily, it will be new to me today even if you posted it yesterday. LOL!
My fav today is that windmill. I love the colors; all in the same family, but so many of them.
Blessed Monday, my friend, m & jb (who is meowing every 1 ½ seconds -yes, I counted- to go out despite it being still dark)
What a wonderful collection. To The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beautiful pictures Judy! I love all things rustic!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing and beautiful treasures...I wish we had more windmills here in my neck of the woods :)
ReplyDeleteI love the old windmill too Judy. It would make a wonderful painting. Great photos. Have a blessed week. Pam
ReplyDeleteahhh mid 70's sounds so good to me. and i love that rusty latch photo... maybe the horse is a stuffed one? looks like he is just ground tied.. all the photos are beautiful
ReplyDeleteLove all of the pictures - rusty hinge was cool!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! Maybe that horse was catching a few zzzzzs-- :)
ReplyDeletelovely old buildings and rural pieces. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Your photos are always amazing and beautiful - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week :) Hugs
Great set of photos! And I have the same problem of not know if I have posted a photo before. And have found a couple lately that have been posted twice in a short time frame! (I feel so embarrassed when I find I have done that. I don't mind if it is years apart, and some I republish on purpose because I love them so.)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these wonderful photos, Judy!
ReplyDeleteI believe those paintings (both the painting of the kitchen walls and the actual painting of the windmill) will get done. They will. They will.
xo
Sheila :-)
Morning, wonderful group of pictures.Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteI love that new little cabin and yes, the horse does look a bit bored.
ReplyDeleteWe did have a wonderful weekend. Went over the mountain to a neighboring town..pics to come.
ReplyDeleteThese were beauties. I have a thing for old windmills too. I will be watching for the painting!
Beautiful photos, Judy. The old windmill would make a wonderful painting.
ReplyDeleteOur weekend was good - we arrived home on Saturday after our vacation and jumped right into life as normal.

I never tire of your rustic farm photos, Judy. So just keep them coming girl.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait for your photos, I love this area as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe had a windmill like that when I was a kid on the farm. They are great photos. I have the same problem with posting repeats. Sometimes I repeat post a photo a week later.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to WI--SO living vicariously through your photos. THANK YOU! And thank you for visiting my blog and commenting. The truth will set us free! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteI really like that picture of the log cabin with the patient horse looking on, and the wind mill looks delightful against the blue sky. That picture of the rusty door lock is cool too. I always love seeing your pictures. They are filled with simplicity and beauty.
love,
~Sheri
Lovely country images, Judy. I think the windmill is my favorite...I agree the new ones can't hold a candle to these old ones with all the rust blades! I have never seen any of the pics before either :)
ReplyDeleteYou always make "rubbish" look like works of art!! I always look forward to your photos!
ReplyDeleteJust a thought...print out that windmill photo on large paper and ModPodge it to a canvas. Three or four coats over it should make it okay to hang on the porch. No painting necessary.
I far prefer looking at the older items out and about with their rusty stains and showing that they have 'lived' a little. Lovely shots x
ReplyDeleteHorses are pretty fascinating to me as to how long they can stand. I see them in trailers traveling across country, unable to get out and exercise and even lay down.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing to do and a beautiful time of year to be there. Love seeing all of the big farms that are so well maintained. Enjoy your week! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteYou have some great shots there, and that horse is so patient, just standin' and waitin'.
ReplyDeleteDiana
These are nice! I especially like the old windmill. We don't see many of them in Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteYour windmill photo is amazing. Love the rusty handle too!
ReplyDeleteSuch an eye for photography! I hope you're keeping a book. Have you thought of making one at Shutterfly? What a great coffee table book your photos would make! Especially with the captions you write.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great rusty door latch. That poor horse! I hope he didn't have to wait too long.
ReplyDeleteIf I was a horse, I wonder if I prefer to be lazy and idle around or be hardworking and pull a heavy load. I am bone to the Chinese Zodiac of a horse. Visiting you for the first time.
ReplyDeleteHave to agree the old windmill looks beautiful. I am strangely fascinated by our wind turbines though, we have lots on our seascape.
ReplyDeleteI love the windmill photo.
ReplyDeleteAll your photos actually.
If you've shared I sure don't remember and enjoyed each one.
Have a great day friend.
that horse does look quite bored! love the old windmills too!

ReplyDeletepoor ole horse...
ReplyDeleteYou have an incredible eye for this! I love your photos. I am still trying to get back to a routine...sometimes it is hard. Hug.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, all firsts for me!
ReplyDeleteNice windmill composition photo and there's a lot to learn from the horse and your comment. Never feel sorry for what might be a repeat post , you always make it interesting and that the key.
