Another Barn Near Sand Creek, WI
April 16, 2015
The photos in this post are from our little jaunt to Sand Creek, WI where we took the boys to lunch at their favorite cafe and then to the park so they could play in Sand Creek.
Waiting for a cheeseburger and a grilled cheese
(This IS Wisconsin, ya know)
As you might remember from last week, this little guy always chose a huge walking stick, and I had to capture his attempt at trying to make the bend in the bridge while carrying such a long stick. He succeeded. I shouldn't have been surprised.
Railroad Bridge at Harper's Ferry, WV
Why am I including the two photos of the railroad bridge at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia? Because one of the grandsons asked me why I had named my dog (no longer with us) 'Bridger,' (see sidebar) so I had to explain that I had named my dog after the bridge at Harper's Ferry. He thought that was really stupid unusual.

The pictures of the grandkids are adorable. Love the shot of them playing by the creek/river. We're having the same kind of weather. Perhaps the rain will help the tulips grow and the grass green up!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your pictures and KNOW your week with "the grands" was perfect. Do you ever make your own cheese? After all you are in Wisconsin!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Yes, Lulu, I make my own Feta. I've made mozzarella, but it costs no more to buy than to make, so I only did that once.
DeleteNothing better than time with the grands! The pictures of them are just delightful, they look like they are having a blast! Sweet post~

What a great time with your grandchildren! I love the bridge story, sounds like a great name for your dog.. The barn and sky shots are gorgeous.. Great post! Have a happy day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post full of great photos. I love the barn ones of course. The kids look like they are having a blast while visiting with you. The diner looks great. Have a good week.
ReplyDeletePerfect photos! I know you had a great time with the boys last week. Are you and Kevin napping this week? Lol!
ReplyDeleteCute post, Judy. Kids are such fun to spend the day with. I wonder what I would have named our old dog if I had changed his name when we adopted him from the shelter. I just kept it thinking he had been through enough change. It's nice when a name means something special to us. I really must photograph some old barns around here. There are plenty to choose from.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures - of course you eat cheese when you visit here! My brother who lives in another country, craves cheese curds - the fried type...
ReplyDeleteFabulous blue skies, sunshine, with barns, bridges and grandchildren equal a fun blog post to view.
ReplyDeleteIt would be funny if I someday came here and seen a barn that I had also snapped when we went through Wisconsin! I always look forward to your barn posts...partly for that, and partly because WI has some great barns. And a LOT of them.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you enjoyed great weather for the grandsons' visit. That is so cute with the BIG stick! I love the bridge too. The photo of Bridger on your sidebar is great; I know you miss him. I love the barns and the nice reflections in the water. God bless your day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day with the grandboys!! That looks like a pretty place to visit and hey, I am always ready for a Cheeseburger or a Grilled Cheese. Love the story of your dogs name! I thought maybe it was after jim Bridger, the Indian Scout.
ReplyDeleteLovely barn shots, but I have to say that my favorite is the little grand walking across the bridge with the walking stick that is twice his height! Soooo cute!! Just yesterday, I thought of your grandson when Bekah and my grands went to walk some paths in the woods and they all had sticks. This morning, there is a huge stick on my back porch that someone left.
ReplyDeleteJudy, Once again your picture are outstanding. All that blue in the skies and the reflections. Glad you enjoyed your young grandsons. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeletep.s. we are to have gloomy weather this week also.
Wonderful pictures, barns, sites, streams, grands and colors. Perfect pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou captured some great images on your outing and adventure with the Grands. Seeing the little one with the BIG stick makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteOh, how those blue skies and the reflections are beautiful! They are both soothing and refreshing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely photos!
PS As always, the soap mosaic is wonderful too. I could eat all those soaps, they look so delicious!
Hi, Judy!
ReplyDeleteI love the scenery!
The one with the steam reminds me of when our guys played near the stream.
xoxo
I enjoyed all of your photos of your week with the grands--so cute. I came over to your blog when I noticed the England shots. I've looked at them and they are beautiful. ♥
ReplyDeleteThe barns look great along the creek. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit. Your grandkids are adorable and surely enjoying themselves. I love all your photo's.
ReplyDeleteNice barns! I love the reflection of the sky in the water. And the kids are so cute playing by the stream. Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy,
ReplyDeleteHave walked the Harper's Ferry RR Bridge many times. A good place to be.
:) m & jb
PS Will email you soon. Still not writing large amounts of text. xoxo, m
Great photos! What a bunch of fun to be had. My most favorite hours are spent with my children and especially my grandchildren. If you need an uplift, follow a child and play along.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy looking at your photos. They are always so beautiful. Funny story about your grandson and what he said about your dog's name :)

Great photos, Judy. Where is Sand Creek? You'd never know I grew up in WI, eh?
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!! I love the ones with the blue sky and water! And of course the bridges. A BIG yes, I do remember the stick! It is a cute thing that has stuck in my mind. He is quite agile with it. I had many happy hours by a creek just like this one. They are cutie pies!
ReplyDeleteI loved playing in the small creeks on our farm. I don't know exactly the fascination but it is so cool to see even today. Like all your farm shots and bride too.
ReplyDeleteBridge has a "g" in it. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteTut tut little grandson, Grandma's can name their dog after anything we want! :-) Our first dog I called Rachel and it was my MIL who couldn't understand that one - well I thought it was feminine for such a sweet little girl.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how barns are much the same here as they are in the south - maybe there weren't many building plans available way back when.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Judy.
Love the old railroad bridge, for sure. Looks like the kids are having fun. The barns are lovely, and the reflection in the water is perfect...so still.
ReplyDeleteThese images are fantastic....I love the reflections as well.
ReplyDeleteAn award for you...

It does look like perfect weather. The sky is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos and a fun time you are having! Enjoy your week my friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful photos, Judy. I love the one of the kids by the creek. How funny about the little guy with the "walking" stick. xo Diana
ReplyDeletelaughed at the stupid er unusual comment. :) love the farms and reflections!
ReplyDeleteAll images bring about such beauty~
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lot of wonderful photos. Your grandsons sound pretty wonderful too. Signs of Spring are all around you. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHarper's Ferry!!! I just posted a photo from there last week! We loved going there. Such a beautiful place, full of amazing history!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! What a great post - love the olden barns and the grandsons are so cute! I know you had a great time with them. We're getting our two tomorrow and they'll be with us for three days! Thanks so much for popping in to see me.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;
Little boys love to play in creeks like this --I'm sure this was the highlight of their day! Your weather looked beautiful as do the barns and scenery. !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous barn pictures, love the reflections in the water. Sweet boys having fun outdoors, that's how it should be.Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty countryside and seeing the boys playing in the creek is so precious! I am partial to bridges, too :) xo K
ReplyDeleteStunning shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful farms along the creek. Something strange has happened here in our corner. Working farms are no longer allowed on any stream or river. Can you believe it?
ReplyDeleteSince we are also in the middle of a cold, rainy week, I can appreciate how grateful you are for a delightful week last week with the grands. Boys are happier when they can be outside exploring and playing and finding the best walking stick.
LOL on the long walking stick and the bridge. to cute. I love the first photo of the Bridger Bridge, the perspective is wonderful...the sky and the reflections of sky in the barn shots is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am quite taken by the clouds in all your photos-- and the ones of "boys being boys." Love that walking stick, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing the beauty surrounds you. Always so calming
ReplyDeleteCindy
Beautiful photos, Judy...that sky is amazing! Looks like the boys had a great time :)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great adventure with those two cute boys.
:-)
I like the Sand Mine photos.
How nice to see the boys out in their shirt sleeves!!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun day...pretty place...lunch sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteA fun day with grandsons is HARD TO BEAT...:)
ReplyDeleteand so is a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. :)
Fun, fun.....wonderful seeing the kids having a great time. Lots of good fences.....and two cute little guys!
ReplyDeleteLove your Grands and great selection of fences.
ReplyDeleteLucky kiddos to have such a beautiful area to play in. And of course lucky to have such a nice Grandma. Not to mention the cheeseburger. Yum.
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful barns, skies, reflections and little boys!
ReplyDeletecan i get a grilled cheese too, please?
i've been to that Harpers Ferry bridge a few times ....
And hey, I was going to fave your Etsy shop, but I already had! I bet your house smells heavenly, especially from the lemon verbena soap.
ReplyDeleteThose boys are adorable. Loved the Big Stick shot. What a pretty area. The barns are nice and the fences as well. I think it's great you had fun with your grandson's.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rural views. I'll bet the boys had fun playing in that creek.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views in the top photos, and I like the refelction of the clouds in the water. Wonderful bridge as well!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! And what a lovely time with your grandsons!
ReplyDeleteThe reflections are so pretty, like looking at the picture twice so it must be 'twice as good'. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great creek to play in!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I loved to do, when I was a youngster.

These are great.
ReplyDeleteLovely blues in these photos. The first several photos are so scenic and love the mosaic grand finale.
ReplyDeleteLove the reflection in that first photo.
