LakeLand Village History in the Making....A Dream Fulfilled

The Beginnings of a new day haunts me as I wander past the old barn.

Weathered in time, the sun glazed wood recalls a day when it was fresh and new.

Beams as old bones hold her up for all to see. The wind whistles through her gates, as the birds perch along her walls.

Tales have been told here, dreams have been birthed here and time rests here among her singing creaking rafters.

No one can pass with out pondering her days.

Warm and safe, a haven of rest the outside world peers wantonly in.

The day's light breaks through the walls illuminating her historic values.

Soft golden straw spills across the floor lending comfort and welcoming her limited visitors.

Memories like the spiders webs, stretch across every corner reflecting on their moment in time.

A dream fulfilled. A promise kept. A Day Remembered.

Hmm, got a match? Nice to see that you're still at it Dinah.

Gregg- You should stop by the old barn some time. It is truly beautiful and is a reminder to our community of the use of this land before it was plotted into home sights. It is just across the street from some amazing homes, and complements the view of the snow capped Olympic Mountains resting just above.

I think it is great that we can blend the old and the new. LakeLand Village has a rich History and each "generation" of 9 hole golf course reminds us of the founding family and the farm lands they worked.

This is a unique community that I feel very fortunate to have happened upon, and get to live in!

The barn is a quaint reminder of days past. I'm wondering if the picture is recent, or older. I notice that there's a treeline in the background. The trees are what I like the best about the Northwest. I'm sure that it's a wonderful area to visit.

Dinah Lee, Looks like my last fixer I tried to sell. I hope all is well with you...

This old barn has stories to tell: barn-raising work and party when it was built, country dances, daily life from 100 years ago or more. Thanks for sharing these great photos.

I love to go by the old ban. I am glad it is still here. The setting is just breathtaking. Especially the sunsets. I have too many pictures of this on my computer. Probably one for every day of the year-LOL
