Description
On our way to Assateague Island, Maryland on a very warm summer day, my husband and I passed this little farm that brought back long ago memories of when my son was a little boy. He had a Fisher Price farm set that he loved, and the barn was very similar to this one. When I first saw the barn, the children's song, "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," instantly popped into my head, because of course it was often a part of our son playing with the favorite farm toy. I was struck by how our memories and minds are so amazingly complex. Forty years can come rushing back in an instant when triggered by a certain sight or sound or smell or song. I actually took the shot as we drove by, not thinking a whole lot more about it. Once it was downloaded and I saw it, it occurred to me that the image would be perfect for a child's room! Maybe there's someone who has a little boy or girl who would enjoy a farm picture in their room.
