Laundry Day at the Farm
Uploaded: July 12, 2009
----
To kick off my series on the "Bucks County Barns of Distinction" tour that I enjoyed yesterday, this was one of my favorites. At Anchor Run Farm in Wrightstown, Pennsylvania. I don't know if the wash was intentionally color-coordinated with the flowers...but the chicken and I were wondering together...

Wonderful colors and details Michelle, I especially like the chicken in the background! #7730571Nadya Johnson July 12, 2009
Before I even read your caption, I had the same thought: the laundry and the flowers match! How cool is that??? This is such a great capture! It really has all the elements. As Amy pointed out, the chicken has a starring role and really punctuates the shot! Excellent find and photo, Michelle! #7730629Douglas Pignet July 12, 2009

This just oozes charm, Michelle. That chicken adds just the right touch - well, there are lots of "right touches", the brightly colored laundry, the flowers; as I said, "oozes charm"! #7743066Cassie L. Woodlee July 16, 2009
I love this one!!! fantastic Michelle!!! #7746010Jim Baines July 17, 2009
This is a riot! You are a hoot!This reminds me of the time I was about 5 or 6, maybe. I was mad at my Mom about something. I was playing on the back porch as she left the house to take a load of clothes to the clothesline.
After she passed me I faced towards her back and stuck my tongue out at her as far as it would reach! Simultaneously, she turned around and caught me.
Mom: "What are you doing?"
Stupid Jim: "Nothing .. just licking some jelly from my mouth." (I can think incredibly fast when I have to)
(If the truth is known, we probably hadn't even had any jelly for weeks or months ..)
Mom: "You march right over to that bush and break off a switch and bring it to me!"
Stupid Jim: (Brain kicking into high gear)
Mom: "I will teach you a lesson you'll never forget young man ... don't you ever lie to me again!"
And the lesson worked ... I never forgot that little simple lesson of life. I never lied to mother again either. But I did test my dad once when I was about 10 or 11. That didn't work either.
Thanks for the memories, Michelle, and the chuckles! I simply love this shot!!
