Farewell, Old Barn

Back in early March of 2012, 
I wrote a blog post about this beautiful old barn,
which is not far from That Old House:


Yesterday, I passed this barn again.
Now, it looks like this:


There is a temporary fence around it.
We've had some pretty fierce storms this spring, with high winds.


I can only think that falling trees or branches
brought down this fragile old structure.


A piece of local history, gone.
Clearly it isn't being taken down professionally; it fell down.


I will miss seeing it in my local travels.
Even back in March '12, it was clear
that the barn was living on borrowed time.


But wasn't it beautiful?


I'm glad I took these pictures.

It's a beautiful Wednesday here in northern New Jersey;
I hope your weather is treating you well, too!  -- Cass
