Photo Chain Challenge edition 47

#FeelGood community

After viewing Hive account@melind010100's entry for the challenge put out there by Hive account@davidesimoncini, I thought this may be a lot of fun putting something together and entering myself a post.
As soon as I saw that one of the keywords was** WOOD**, great job choosing that word Hive account@bumbuka, I knew I was in.
Now, let's not forget the second keyword window. The perfect match, wood/window or window/wood, right on Hive account@trincowski
This is my first time hanging out with some #FeelGood folk, and some good feelings are probably what many of us could use a big dose of right about now!
Thanks for having me aboard.

With what I had in mind for this entry, first I needed to look up the word window. Yea, I'm not the brightest guy in the room, I'll be the first to admit that.
But after reading the definition of a window, I realized that what I was thinking of was spot on, well almost.
Here is Webster's definition for window: an opening especially in the wall of a building for admission of light and air that is usually closed by casements or sashes containing transparent material (such as glass) and capable of being opened and shut
Do you see that bold word that is crossed out with the other words, that one little word (usually) was the key.

The keyword I was thinking of putting with the other keywords was neglected.

I'm pretty sure that the very large window at the top of this old barn was not the way this structure was designed, but it does let in air and light, therefore it's a window, right?
I have been keeping an eye on this once magnificent old barn for quite some time now. Years of neglect have almost brought this it to its knees.

Mother Nature, with her driving wind and rain, her ability to heave tons of weight towards the sky as she freezes the ground, and during years of scorching summers, Mother Nature has evaporated every drop of moisture from the medium from which this old barn was erected. Couple these conditions with neglect and the end results are what you see here, what a shame!
You have windows, that years of neglect have rendered, and you have those that were designed into the structure.

Back when this barn was in its glory, the windows didn't have sashes or glass to keep out the elements.
With over a hundred cows in the barn at any one time, I would suspect that ventilation was paramount.
My man Hive account@splatts just did a #DIY post on a Fart Fan. If the old farmers just had a couple hundred of those to exhaust the methane gas, they may have been able to close the windows.
You have got to love all of these new gadgets.

The sashes you see in this picture look like old storm windows that someone installed after the fact.

That was fun!!
