On Labor Day weekend Dave and I, along with my brother Roman and his wife Jaimie, went to our house in Vermont that we call "the lodge". While there we went to the Vermont State Fair in Rutland. After the fair we spotted a barn sale full of antiques. Roman bought an old copper fire extinguisher (he and his wife are volunteer firefighters).


The A frame can be seen (almost) through the trees.
This cow is having the hair blown dry. Did you know that they trim the hair along the backbone, leaving the top most hair longer and then it is blown dry to give it a mohawk look? Who knew?

This was a working dairy farm in the not too distant past and is now an Antique Barn.

This is the view from outside the barn. Beautiful!

This barn dragonfly was gigantic!

This is one l-o-n-g barn! Can you imagine all the cows in here?

Looking at the antique fire extinguisher.



On the way home from the fair we saw this giant chair.
It reminded us of the Adirondack like chairs my father makes.
Would you like to buy one? Only $50! In any color as long as it is white!!
