This was something I was just waiting for.. Mark and I were in the kitchen making lunch, and we hear this rumbling sound; it has been VERY windy these past few days, and finally, the old barn's roof caved in. It has been steadily declining and shifting since before we moved in 4 yrs. ago, after being abandoned as a dairy barn in the 90's when the farmer who owned this place, succombed to methane fumes in one of its silos. It is about 60 feet from our house! Don't worry, this is not the barn we keep the horses in, lol. Here are the pics...





I want you to notice the most amazing, and frightening, thing here; there's a white pigeon with a nest inside. It is a pigeon, not a dove. I never see white ones; this is the only one I've seen in my life. I feel so bad for her; her nest will now be exposed to much of the elements, and there's not even any way we could rescue her (if she even needs rescuing..) it is very high up, and extremely unsafe for anyone to be up there by the rafters. I really hope that her nest is OK, not to mention her; I scarcely think that such an oddity would last long if it didn't have a secluded place, like what was once a barn roof, to hide/live in...
