Taken in Petoskey, Michigan.

While the barn looks a bit rough given that the siding has not been painted, it seems to be structurally sound and well maintained. I'm making that judgement from the fact that the roof appears to be relatively new. The downfall of many old barns stems from roof problems.

This is the rustic arbor and bench I had built for my front yard. A Hardy Kiwi is growing up the poles. We hope to get some fruit from this sometime in the future.
