Across from our previous home there was a windmill. It pumped water over a paddle wheel behind the barn. The water then fell over a small water fall and into a lower pond that the windmill drew the water from.


The barn was actually a two-story hall that was used for wedding receptions, church socials, family reunions, and an annual BBQ for my baseball team. The silo (hidden behind the middle tree) had a spiral staircase between the two floors. On the back of the second floor were large barn doors that led to a covered patio with grills. The water passed under a small arched wooden bridge at the end of the patio.

After supper on nice summer evenings we would take our wine glass and sit on the front porch of our home and watch the rabbits hopping across the large lawns.

Unfortunately it is all gone now. Four new homes have replaced the barn, silo, windmill, and large lawns.
