Description

This is a picture I took of my Parent's old hay barn that had been there for years and had fallen into bad shape. I'm glad I took the picture, because a snow storm just a month later knocked the barn completely down. The old barn is no longer there now. I had lots of fun times as a kid playing in this old barn. My brothers would build mazes and houses out of the stacks of hay that resided inside the barn. We use to make big piles of the loose hay, so we could jump from the high stacks of hay bails into the giant pile. I remember missing that big pile of loose hay a couple of times. Somehow I managed to never break one of my bones playing in there. It's a shame that it became old and dilapidated. I'm glad I did get this photo of it before it completely fell to the ground. Every time I look at the photo I get a warm feeling of nostalgia and memories to flood my mind.
