Let's go to Wisconsin for some old barns. We went back to Wisconsin for Don's 50th High School reunion, and took a few days to explore the countryside.
We saw a few barns with quilts painted on them - and a cement silo
A corn field in front of a barn with a painted quilt
We also saw silos built with local stones - gathered from the fields
A very good job of fitting the stones together into the round shape of the silo
And a shingled roof
The roof is gone on this silo after all the years in the harsh winters of Wisconsin
A stone shed on the same farm
And a stone foundation, the barn is long gone
Next week - part two of Wisconsin barns
Fieldstone; always a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteQuilt barns are always a treat to find. The stone silo is special, I have only found a couple. Thanks for linking this great collection. Please return again. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteYes, the old stone silo's are few now. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteThose stone silos are great.
ReplyDeleteThe stone buildings and silos are so amazing to see!
ReplyDeleteNeat stone silos!
ReplyDeleteCool rock silos...wonder why we don't see more of them. I would think they would be so much sturdier than wood or all the metal ones around here.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, JoAnn.
I don't think I've seen stone silos before. It certainly looks like they're built to last.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt patterns painted on the barns. It lends so much character, doesn't it?
Having done my share of rock -picking, it is good to see them put to use.
ReplyDeleteA fresh new collection of barns! Beauties, all of them! I especially love the barn quilts!
ReplyDeleteHow I totally love all that stone work...I don't think I have ever seen stone silos. These are wonderful. I always look forward to seeing your shots.
ReplyDeleteThe stone silos are my favourite!
