How picturesque - it has to be in Holland somewhere because of the shape of the roof and the tulips.

It's actually in Skagit County, Washington State. Mount Vernon/La Conner to be more specific. I usually stay away, the crowds are horiffic!

The Tulip Festival there, usually in mid-April, is just glorious! And you're right - the traffic is atrocious. You literally go at the pace of the slowest car and if you leave the roadway, you may take a good half-hour to get back on, depending on some kind soul to let you in line. The tulips are worth it, though.

Aussie, many Dutch folks settled here. You can see their influence in the shape of the barns and the houses.
I read this - "Hearts cannot be broken. And only love makes us truly immortal." That's the love of God, who watches over all of us and soothes our hurting hearts.

Sure does, we are so privileged to be children of God. Had lunch with my sister yesterday (she will be 70 on Saturday) and ran into someone who had not seen me for a while and of course asked the inevitable question (where is he? ), so brought it all up again. Seven months on Saturday, I will be glad when it is seven years and not so raw!!! Take care and please stay well. Hugs.

(((hugs))) to Aussie. Time will pass and days will roll into years. Live each one to our best ability and then we can make each of those days little personal victories for getting through them.

Gillwho - thank you so much for those lovely words and I guess it is the only way to handle things without going around the bend. Hugs back to you.
Unfortunately this is a beautiful sight you don't see much anymore. Most old barns are run dowm and delapidated. Kudos to the farmer who owns this one..

Hang in there, lots of hugs.
