Barn Charm # 19

This barn and outbuildings are part of a farm that sits across the road

from the high school where I teach.

There is big farm house up the hill from the barn,

but I don't have a photo of it.

This has a fairly long driveway up to the house.

There is a section that floods and then they have to go in and out

by a rough back road through another's property.

We (at school) know when their drive-way begins to flood

that there's a good chance we will have an emergency dismissal

due to flooding conditions.

(We get as many flood days as we do snow days).

I used to have a daily view of this farm.

I remember being thrilled at the view

when I first saw my room

after being hired.

I had spent six years in a second floor class room

with no windows.

To have a window was great,

but to have this view was fabulous.

Alas, I was laid off for a year,

and a special-ed teacher got my room.

I was brought back as a replacement

for a teacher who had retired.

Now I get to look at the science rooms.

Sigh.

But on the bright side, I still have windows!
