barn charm - getting back into the groove


With those lazy hazy crazy days of summer essentially behind us,
I'm beginning to think it's time to get back into the groove of things.
I sure have been feeling lazy and hazy -
as in - major slacking...


Fall has always felt like the real start of a new year to me.
So - anyway
We had the pleasure of spending Labor Day with family in
Central Pennsylvania.


Rural and hilly and beautiful like Vermont
yet, oh, so different.



We enjoyed meandering over the winding back roads,
among the peaceful farmland.


I'm not sure why summertime seems to throw me off my normal rhythm,
but I'm looking forward to Fall
and getting my groove back.
How about you - does summer seem to throw you off your normal patterns?

  1. Fall feels like a new start for me, too. Maybe because I went to school so long. :-) These photos are beautiful! The barn looks like as nice as a house. And I love that dirt road meandering through the field.

  3. What beautiful scenery! Your photos are lovely. Such gorgeous farmland. I always get exhausted after summer with all the 'extra' activities and painting and gardening. I look forward to fall so I can finally relax a little. xo

  4. I am a slacker in summer, too - if that means blogging! I'd rather be out and about. PA was were I grew up and raised my family (Lancaster County). You've captured the agrarian scenes well. I like your Header.

  6. How great that lovely barns are everywhere. I definitely welcome September. Summer has too many comings and goings to be on any kind of schedule.

  7. Oh boy, do I love that red barn. Perfection. And I couldn't agree with you more, Fall is definitely a time to get back into our groove. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving some sweet words, so appreciate your time.

  8. Yes summer always throws me off. It's my least fav season (weird I know). I love these pre-autumn photos. I can't want to see autumn in Vermont through your blog :)

  17. I take one day at a time, no, I don't feel I get off track. But understand the routine of our daily lives can change at a moments notice. Love the red barn shot.

  19. What a cool barn! I would love to see the inside. What pretty country.
    I love fall as well. Cool crisp mornings, warm afternoons and beautiful colors. Apples, pumpkins, squash, soup and college football are good too.

  20. I love this barn, it is gorgeous so is Pennsylvania, WOW...I'm like you even retired I loose my rhythm somehow to summer's time and sense, Fall refocuses (is this a word?) me.

  21. Love that barn----love all barns. We don't see many around these parts at all---mostly fishing stages(which is pretty awesome too!). I love this time of the year as well. I spend a lot of time changing things in the garden, pruning, and transplanting. It gives me the same feeling I get when I've tidied and organized my pantry or some closets. Fall, for me, is all about regaining some structure in my life. :o)

  22. Summer here in Boise is stay inside or roast your brains out time, so I LOVE fall, too. I know I say this every time you post a barn photo, but this one's my favorite!
