Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Wisconsin Barn Charm

Old Red standing in front of New. Of course New might be twenty years old or older by now.

This barn is in Central Wisconsin, south east of Niellsville on highway 73.

"Drive-by" shooting with my Sony Cybershot.

5retired said...: I was looking at one of my followers & saw your site. I love it! I stayed in Wisconsin for about 5 months during the fall & also during the winter. It is so breathtaking in the fall. I couldn't get enough of it. The red barns & the colorful trees. Your pictures brought back memories of what I experienced. I will be watching your blog from now on. I hope you will drop by mine as well. I would love to have you as one of my followers too. Thanks for the memories.
