Tuesday Tidbits #285 A Ride in the Countryside

Hello August,

Please go slow!

We are still in the summer mood here. In fact, we celebrated summer once again with ice cream!

We try to go to this cute little place near Fryburg, Pennsylvania, once a summer. It’s a great ride in the country!

It is always enjoyable to take a country drive through western Pennsylvania on a sunny day. At times we drove along the Allegheny River which was a beautiful sight.

Sometimes, we found ourselves driving through the countryside and seeing wonderful-looking farms like this one.

I believe these are called Stooks or Shooks. The farmer stacks the grain this way to dry it before threshing it.
There’s just something about a red barn!

The countryside is adorned with splendid barns!

I have previously shared with you the next barn, which happens to be my favorite local barn.

❤️

Here it is in the winter!

Do you find solace in the scenic countryside? Do you share my love for the charming appeal of barns, particularly the striking red ones?

Thank You

It was a beautiful week in Pennsylvania. Thanks for taking a ride in the Countryside with us!

As I always try to convey… we sure do appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.

We are wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.

  1. It suddenly hit me that those barns can also be considered Strawberry Delights, Nance! What a lovely drive in the western Pennsylvania countryside in early August!

  2. You had me with ‘slow down’, Nancy! Yes. Make it so…all the better to enjoy the beautiful views you provide. I’ll take gorgeous barn photos any day. They seem to say, “slow down…we’ve been here a long time. What’s the rush?” xo to you! 🥰

  3. Good morning, Nancy. I enjoyed the scenic drive this morning in the countryside of western Pennsylvania. Farms and red barns always catch my eye. You found some beautiful ones!

    Enjoy your day, my friend!

  4. Great post! I LOVE country rides and yes, I’m a sucker for barns too! I especially love riding my bike on county roads. How’s the shoulder on those roads? Is there enough room for vehicles AND bikes? That’s always the challenge. BTW, have you printed and framed that gorgeous shot of the red barn in winter? If not, you should!

    1. That kitten was in an area we were shopping at. It was skiddish. Ran away if I got close. We were hoping it had a family. So darn cute!
      Thanks for coming along for the ride.

  5. Beautiful photos of beautiful countryside. Thanks for taking us on this journey. Have a wonderful week on your lake.

  6. I always enjoyed driving through the country when my daughter lived in Downingtown. Such a beautiful part of our country. But that daughter lives near me in Florida now.❤️

  7. Stunning scenery in the country, Nancy! Everything is so green and lush now. Wow, so many picturesque barns. With those and the ice cream, a successful day! Yes, August, please go slow! ❤️🦋

  8. Beautiful views on your drive Nancy. Living just over the border in Ohio we have old barns everywhere too, even right across the street from our house. There are a lot of Amish communities that we love to slow down and visit. The food is amazing too! Lol

    1. We too have a large Amish community herd in Pennsylvania. We have hired many to do construction projects for us.
      We live in a beautiful area, don’t we?
      Thank you for coming along on our country ride.
      😊

  9. Pennsylvania is such a beautiful state. I always enjoyed the drive from Cleveland and, later, Chicago, to Philadelphia…at least until I left the interstate to head into the city. 🙂 I also love barns, maybe not unusual since my grandparents in Nebraska lived on a farm. I love the winter photo! Seeing a barn falling down makes me sad, but your photos make me happy. <3 Have a wonderful weekend!

    1. When you grow up around these old barns, you know how much they are needed and loved by the people who own them. And now we, too, love them.
      Thank you for enjoying our country ride.

Thank You So Much... for sharing your kind words. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your thoughts.
