Facelift

 

So, remember how we have a Smiley Face barn in our yard?

 

Looks like this:

 

Here's another photo, just in case you needed one...

 



 

Well, our wonderful landlords decided it was time for a facelift. 

 

So now he (she?) looks like this...

And we're smilin' once again!

 

Both our landlords and we ourselves have a family reunion on the near horizon. Ours is this weekend (Bangs side, not Adam) and the Langel Reunion is coming up for the 4th of July. The Bangs are getting together to celebrate a milestone birthday, and the Langels are converging to celebrate the centennial of the farm. What this means in terms of work for the people who live here full time is that all those "rainy day" projects were finally completed! Such as painting the barn. It looks pretty darn good, doesn't it?

 

Just for fun (and because I'm procrastinating making dinner), here's a few more photos!

 

Does anyone know what kind of bird this is?

Seems like we only see them this time of year.

 

 This is the barn of a nearby neighbor of ours who lives in town.

Looks good, doesn't it?

 

Appropriate for the 4th of July, I think.

Cheers to all for a happy Reunion, happy Independence Day, and just a good day overall!

 

PS- I'm trying out a new blog theme. I can't decide if I like it.  It might be a bit trite. Let me know what you think!
