stony creek farm

The barn in the empty farmyard next door is 90 years old and may not stand for many more.

It was built in 1918, according to the paint job, and must have been a fine big barn in its time. Still would be, if it was being kept up. But alas, the barn sits unused and the house that shares the yard with it has been broken into by human or beast, or both, and the weather has done its damage inside. The floor might not hold a person any longer.

Scott and I walked over there the other night and had a look around. It would have been a great yard once, with its maple trees, long driveway and the two-storey farmhouse butted up against a field.
