BARNS

Here are more of the barns on my travel.

TREES IN THE SNOW

Driving around and thought the trees were really beautiful.  Had to stop and take pictures.

1 tsp sugar

Mrs. Jane Culver recently passed away at 90 years old.  She was my Home Ed cooking teacher almost 60 years ago in Junior High at School.  So I put the recipe on in her memory.  Rest in Peace, Mrs. Culver.  You were the best cooking teacher - next to my Mom

HOUSES WITH SNOW

More houses with snow around them in my village.

HOUSES IN SNOW

TRAINS

These pictures are of trains at the fair.  I am not sure if I put these on or not.

I did not forget Edward, but we just don't seem to get together for a post.

VEGETABLE BASKETS

At the fair, last August, were these beautiful baskets with vegetables.  Thought it was time to have something to look forward to in this coming spring and summer.  Honest spring is coming in a few months.

SILOS

While driving I also got pictures of barns with silos.

I don't have it on today, but I hope to have a post on Sunday or Monday.  Edward is going to give it and right now he is doing peoples taxes, so I
 get him when I can.

PALMYRA, NY - METHODIST CHURCH FOR SALE

                                          Methodist Church

                                          For Sale Sign

                                          Parsonage

On January 12, 2014, I told of Palmyra, New York being the only town in the USA with four churches on the four corners.  On January 26, 2014, I told of the Methodist Church.  It is sad, but the Methodist Church and parsonage are up for sale.  It is do to small members of the church.  I hope this ends up staying as a Christian church and parsonage.

THIS 'N' THAT

                                          Saw this after Christmas, but thought it was interesting.

                                          Saw this after Christmas, too.

                                          Saw this and the one below in the country.

                                          Sign I saw while driving around.
