101 Old Barn Succumbs to Fire...

"I thought you might be interested in this picture. Lightning hit our 101 year old barn last week on Jul 6th. It was an inferno by the time our son alerted us. Mark had left early for work and as he drove by our place, saw small flames licking out of the top back of the barn. When we got to the window, the diesel tank on a hay swather parked inside the barn had already exploded and as the saying goes, "It went up in smoke." Luckily, a big metal barn full of alfalfa that sat close behind was saved by our three sons before firemen took over. That barn stood there for 101 years and is now just an empty site with the it's debris buried in it's spot. The memories of the happening in that barn can never be erased. Many kittens were born there as well as other wild animals. We milked there for years too. All of the Guffy offspring and their cousins and friends played in there too. On a positive way of thinking, it was that it was a pretty fire LOL." -- Lois   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
