Here you see today’s indecisive morning from Flye Point Ridge– she didn’t know whether to rain, snow, or let the sunshine in.

That’s one of our favorite red barns, well-sited high over Herrick Bay. It apparently is not a “working barn,” in the sense that it stores grain or shelters farm animals, but it’s a picturesque reminder of days gone by.

By the way, the word “barn” reportedly is derived from the Old English word “bere,” which specifically meant barley but generally meant grain.
