This little barn about seven miles from my home and near the community of Martinsville, Texas, is still working today. It is one of the few wood pitched-roof barns remaining in this area.
Everything about this scene is charming. Interesting to hear that it's still a working barn. I'm accustomed to seeing rusted, older barns that are sitting empty and unattended.
It's a nice little barn! Thanks for your comments. I know you are so proud of your grandson! Ours is 11 now and has a wonderful vocabulary because of his exposure to books and to us talking about intelligent things around him, too, I think. It makes a big difference.
Painting those tin pitched roofs is one grim job. We did the one on our old homeplace ONE time and that was it. To paint the barn, outbuilding, and house cost us an arm and a leg, and now we need to d it again. It is a never ending cycle. Love the old wooden barn. Ours has the old boards like this. genie
I am a retired court reporter now working part time as a proofreader. In December 2010 I returned to my roots in Deep East Texas to care for my aging mother after having lived in Arizona for over 30 years. I live on a farm in Nacogdoches County near the Louisiana border. This blog is a repository for pictures of subjects that I find interesting in my travels up and down the country roads throughout the Piney Woods. I love to take pictures of farm animals and equipment, old houses, barns and sheds and anything that has vines or rust on it.

That's a great barn. I can't say that I've seen a roof like that one before. Nice find.
That's an unusual shape, but it's a charmer! Glad it is still being used.

Such rich detail and color. This is perfect for Tricia's Barn Charm meme.
I love the interesting shape of it.
This is a really cute little barn Kathy. Thanks for visiting and leaving your comment. I agree that the colour shows off the mural. :)
Charming indeed!
Happy WW!
I had no idea what a 'pitched'-roof was before I read this post. Thank you (and Google too!). :-)
What a beautiful shot!
There's lots to like about this barn: aged wood, rusty roof, interesting shape. Neat photo, Kathy!
What a beauty.
The rusty roof really adds a lot of character to this little charmer.
That barn brings back memories. We has an old wood barn, stained red and a similar pitched roof at my parents farm. Such charm in a country landscape.
Ciao, Bella! I have missed visiting and hope to correct that oversight in the new year. I love your barns.
A definite charmer!
I love the little peak on the roof.
really a charming barn :)
