Icicles

 
Considering the barn door is right behind this icicle, I am surprised it hasn't been broken...it was one LONNNNGGGG icicle......

My Vet

 

My vet is a holistic, acupuncturist, chiropractic veterinarian. She lives not too far from me in an unincorporated town with 5 acre minimum parcels. She is a large animal vet first and takes in horses that are abandoned (how does one abandon a horse? not like dumping a cat or dog out in the country I imagine!)...she has 24 horses.....she is also a cat rescue and I guess a dog rescue as well as there are about , oh I don't know ....MANY dogs.....15 at one count. Clancy, the black lab, has hurt his knee and I am trying to avoid knee surgery for him. So we are out here every other day for therapy and let me tell you how much he loves it. The vet uses the little house off to the right in this photo as her clinic for small animals. There are currently 8 cats in residence. I was not sure Clancy would do well with the cats as he has never seen one. I figured it would be "lunch" for him...but he does not mind the cats as they literally walk all over him. The dogs on the other hand....not so much.....This is just around the corner from the house with the hidden Christmas lights!

A working dairy barn

 

This barn is in Ohio and they make the best cheese!

A Michigan Barn

 
Mostly the barns near my town of Inverness are horse barns.......but this barn is in Michigan on the way to our vacation spot and it ALWAYS looks so neat and clean and RED. I love it. Thought I would share it....especially for Dot.

Inverness Barn

 
This barn is actually in unincorporated Inverness on the southern border. There used to be quite a few barns in the area but most of them fell into disuse and then fell down or had to be knocked down....The farmhouse with this barn is now a law office...This one's for Dot!
