Wisconsin Barns and Good Fences

 Neighbors' Horse Barn?
That's not the kind of horse power I was expecting to see.

 Ah yes, here are the horses, standing in the shade.

The barn above kinda reminds me of our garage which currently has no room for my car! And no, FYI, we are not hoarders. But don't ask our daughter to verify that.


I drive past this cute little old hobby farm on my way to Barron. Usually there are horses or a few cattle out in that yard, but not today, unfortunately.

 Where's Waldo?

Can you find:
Barn scraper
Gate
Burdock plant
Lawn tractor
Dinner bell
Wagon Wheel
Electric meter
Four wheeler
Invasive box elder trees
Windmill 

And FENCE 

P.S. I think Waldo is in the house having his morning coffee.

    Great series! I love the horses in the shade. And the barns are wonderful. I had to go back and look for the dinner bell. Have a happy day!

    Love all the barn shots and of course the horses are very wise to stand in the shade.

    Hey-ya Judy!
    Chuckled internally at the first shot. Looked like Big, Fat HORSE BUTTS. You know, when they turn around to make it abundantly clear they are Not in the mood for a chat. Or when you are following a horse trailer down the road. Yup. You grow 'em big up there in WI. Can't wait to see what you do with goats.
    :) m & jb who is absolutely not a snacker, wishing to keep her kittenish butt. apparently. only treat she deigns to eat is a little vanilla ice cream given off of a finger tip

    That is *some* fancy barn. I say kick the horses (and all that other stuff) out and let *me* move in!

    I like the fence, which seems to be a series of gates, cobbled together.

    So hobby farm means not for real, right? That first barn is a sort of show stopper --not your usual red barn kind of edifice.

    Fun photos today! My husband has always wanted one of those windmills! He wanted a dinner bell too and I bought him one of those. A young man visitor saw it the other day and said, "I like your triangle!"

    Cute post, Judy! I found everything (maybe)! Is the barn scraper just the handle beside the bottom barn? Sorry, I'm a city gal! Lovely horses and beautiful scenery. ♥

    What beautiful shots of fences you share with the vintage barns. The horses are so smart to gather in the shade. I guess they have horse sense. What fun to look for the things in the pic.
    Have a great weekend. cm

    Judy, this is such a charming old barn, and those horses! The brown and white one is a beauty. I really love horses, and often see this white horse while driving the country road by my house. Wisconsin barns are wonderful.

    Have a good rest of the week, and thank you for the birthday wishes for Nel.
    She's 34 today, I can't believe it!

    As one whose car is now parked half in and half out of the garage, I hear ya. And my daughter had better not start giving me a hard time about it. You have an eye and a love for the farms of your corner.
