Today’s rural Missouri barn is brought to you courtesy of my youngest daughter. Another part of the latest stash she’s generously donated to the Thursday Doors cause, this set of doors are currently doorways. But you can see there were once doors in place by the leftover hinges still hanging on. I like all the weathering on both the barn siding and roof. And the vulture, to me, feels like an omen that the barn’s days are probably numbered. I hope not.
Had a busy week filled with dr appointments, helping my mother when able, waiting on technicians for oxygen equipment, getting new glasses, mowing–very, rainy summer, replacing my ancient phone (finally) and also trying to squeeze in tons of minutes with our eldest. Haven’t physically seen her for a few months. Hugs were mandatory. All said, I know I owe more return visits to other blogs and will be able to do more of that this coming week. I have a phone with a battery that lasts more than 15 minutes now. Boy was that a pain! I’ve been dealing with cords and chargers in my purse for more than a year now. Turns out that as I was transferring phone to phone, the screen was going kaput. Timing was of the essence apparently. Just happy I didn’t lose any information from the old phone.
For some great information on more Thursday Doors, please take a few to visit Dan @ NoFacilities to see more wonderful door contributions from all over the globe. Rain or shine, it’s hard to beat this blog challenge! Until next time, hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

I love barns, and doorways are just as good as doors in my book. I’m glad you made the transition with that phone before it was too late. We recently did the same trick with a way-too-old Macbook.

Well vultures are scavengers so it’s like they’re suddenly showing up waiting for the end of the barns days. Probably a little dark for me honestly lol

Technology is a wonderful thing until it isn’t. Hope you didn’t have to take out a second mortage to buy the new phone. 🙂

That’s the truth! Didn’t want my old phone as a trade in as it was too old. But hey they’d sell me one just like it with “updated software” 🤦🏼♀️ So exactly why would I buy another screen-dying pos? I’m just saying lol Thanks for stopping by!

That looks like a turkey vulture. Some years ago, when I was in a state of, umm, disrepair from working in a hot garden, two of those birds were eyeing me from a nearby roof. Yes, I did think they were numbering my days. But then I did some reading about them and I discovered that they are very curious about humans. Well, so am I! So I felt very different about them. I think it’s possible that this vulture, atop the old barn, is contemplating the beauty of the open fields and the transience of man-made things. It looks like a tree on the other side of the barn: I bet the barn and the tree are old friends.
I hope your weeks get better. Keep the Banjo Jam handy.

Thank you for great insight! Been reading lately on our 2 vulture varieties in Missouri and honestly I cannot tell the difference. ha One is a bad type that kills newborn livestock. The other is just your average Joe. Interesting that they are curious of humans. I could see that as they don’t scare too easily. I guess they get a bad rap due to their scavenging nature.
Thanks for the banjo vibes! Starting a new student this week. Passing the torch as they say 🙂
