See that man sitting down right up in front with the green shirt on? That's my daddy! He leads the barn raisings but right now the pretty lady in the black shirt is saying a prayer. We always start our raisings off with a prayer!
Today is magnificent! Not a cloud in the sky and no humidity! It's clear and sunny and just perfect! This is a special barn that we're raising today. My dad dismantled this barn about 20 years ago and it's been in storage for all this time. Now at long last - and a few repairs - it's going back up. Want to see the first bent go up! We have to caution you at the end that there's lots of applause! We don't want to hurt anyone's ears! That's my daddy yelling "lift, lift, lift!" That's the barn chant!
How did you like it? Isn't it just so exciting! We never get tired of going to barn raisings! Every single one of them is more exciting than the next!
There are a total of 5 bents (sections) in this barn. Mom and I left the raising just after bent number 3 cause Maggie stayed home. Dad says she talks too much at the raisings and he didn't want to have to try and compete with her! hehehehe
I think Maggie gets to go tomorrow!
Before we left I got to say hi to my friend Mabel. She's Greg's Bulldog!
She didn't mind me sniffing her at all! Mabel is a sweet girl!
So that's my exciting new for today! This is only my second barn raising and this time I got to stay for 4 whole hours! Maybe one day mom will let me stay for a whole day!
So until next time...............
Love ya lots,
Mitch

Oh wow! That looked so cool. And you are doing a great job blogging Mitchie. Is Maggie on vacation?
ReplyDeleteHi, Mitch.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very good boy. That little girl could be in trouble if you weren't there to help her!
The barn raising looks very cool. Glad you had the chance to be there! Sure you had great time there.
Kisses for you, Maggie, your Mom and your Dad.
Take care

Maggie, that is sooo cool! Been a long time since anyone talked about barn raising. We live in Indiana, and the only time we've been around that is in the Amish communities.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that your Dad is keeping the wonderful tradition alive!!!!
And Mitch, you go buddy on those stairs, you're getting there fur sure!

ReplyDeleteOh that barn raising looks fun. Those little people who drop food are the best.
ReplyDeleteHey Mitch, we've never seen a barn raising before. it looks like fun. and good for you for cleaning up the Cheerios for everyone. Good boy, Mitch.
ReplyDeleteHey Mitch!~
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like that before!!! Barn raising looks so super cool!! But I'm a bit confused... Is there a reason as to why each part of the barn is built and then raised up?? I mean, instead of building up from the beginning... Sorry, Mom and I don't know much about barns so this is all super new to us!~

That's incredibly cool Mitch!!! My mom helped do one of those years ago when her friend's barn burned down (during their wedding - it was crazy!).
ReplyDeleteOh, and you were a good boy to help "clean up" all of those Cheerios ;)
Love,
Bogart

ReplyDeleteYou're a busy guy. That barn raising looks stinkin' cool (was your mama yelling into the camera? My girl does that ALL the time).
You were so good to that hooman pup! You helped her in her time of need... and Cheerios should NEVER go to waste.
