After church today, I stopped in at my parents for a while, ate dinner with them, and played a game of Scrabble together with them. After that, they went to visit some relations at a retirement home. I stayed at the farm for a while and did some photography playing around with different camera settings. Some of the different photos I took are presented belows.
The back side of the old barn
Up until yesterday, it has been unseasonably warm and my parents' magnolia tree shows it. It is covered with buds.
Cattails above and below
As kids, dad and sometimes mom, too, would take us for walks in the farm woods behind these Cattails.
The farm house I lived in for many years
My home church lies across the fields from the home farm. I am a member and still attend there.

That is so pretty Tim and thanks for sharing.
Being a city girl, I've enjoyed my farm stay when I was in Wales many years ago and you've revived my memory for a farm stay. Thank you.
I miss living in that part of the country! So beautiful! I love the old barn.
What a wonderful heritage. Your pictures are so inviting. The house you grew up in is beautiful.
I have never seen magnolia tree live. :) The pictures look very 'homey' and remind me of the place my grandparents live in, i visit every so often to get away from the crazyness of the city.
hey tim, haven't been here in a while. the photos are as captivating as ever. looking at these pictures makes me homesick! great pictures as always.
reminds me of home :) nice shots.
You showed this fzrm yet before and it seems completly different today, maybe because of the trees without leaves or perhaps of the different angles of shooting
Pretty farm indeed, sure you wera a happy farmer boy !
Is that a cemetary between the farm and the church?
that's interesting, nice looking homestead.
I feel like I just went down to southern Ohio....I love those old barns and the homesteads.....and cattails, I love when then burst open....when I walk out at the baywalk, there are lots of cattails with there fuzzy heads....
it looks like a really nice place:)
Great photos as usual - the second group of cattails looked a little bedraggled. :) ed
Thanks, shionge. I'm glad I could revive some pleasant memories.
Thanks, deals on wheels. It is a beautiful part of the country. And old barns do have a certain magic about them.
Thanks, photowannabe. I do appreciate my heritage very much. I have many pleasant memories lodged there. :)
Hi, merili. It's neat to hear about similarities between there and here. Thanks for sharing those comparisons.
Hi, spicebear. Good to see you and glad you like the pictures though I don't mean to make you homesick.
Thanks, sarad. Sometimes I think it is amazing what brings back memories of one's home. :)
Thanks, cergie. I do think this barn picture is from a different angle than before. And I think any other scenes I showed were either from the green seasons or snow times. I do appreciate my farm heritage.
Hi, murf. Yes, that is a cemetery between the farm and the church. Except for when I was living in dormitories at college, I have always lived next to a cemetery -- do even now. They are good neighbors. ;)
Thanks, sage. I certainly found it interesting growing up there. :)
Thanks, judypatooote. Sounds like my post brings pleasant memories to you, too. And cattails are neat plants.
Thanks, choochoo. It is. :)
Thanks, mreddie. The second group of cattails are a bit bedraggled yet that is a bit of the beauty of life in its own way.
Ohhh I'm in love with the red barn and the farm house you grew up in. Wonderful photos, Tim.
Love the barn. Thanks for the walk around, it has brought to mind childhood memories of the smell and look of my great grandfathers farm up on the hill. The laughter and love rolling over the hills of Indiana.
its a beautiful place...tho' have lived in urban setting mostly......i feel a misfit in these surroundings...wud luv to make a country home someday........
I love barn pictures.
That is so beautiful! I love the old farmhouse too.
Vere, very, nice pictures. I loved them.
Have you ever thought about putting some of these together in a book?
Oh WOW!!!! Absolutely beautiful photos!

Thanks, faye pekas. They have many good memories for me.
Thanks, paige. Glad I could help bring back some good memories for you.
Thanks, moi. The countryside is a beautiful place to live; but if everybody went there, we would have no countryside. ;)
Thanks, bobby. Barns are fascinating buildings many times - especially the older ones.
Thanks, carmel. Glad you enjoyed them pictures.
Thanks, fred. I'm sure they would be nice in a book; but I'm not sure I could sell enough books to make it worth it.
Thanks, jon cox. Glad you enjoyed them.
It's always fun to see where bloggers live--or used to live--Tim. It's clear you have many happy memories!
Thanks, ginnie. It is fun to see where people we know grew up or live now.
