Farmhouse Fascination

source

I've always been fascinated by farmhouses. 

 Ones scented by flowers, and splashed by the sea.

source

In my daydreams, they are always two story structures,

source

 with sloping roofs, several windows and loads of charm.

source

Staring off into space, I seem to visit ones that are bordered by 

bundles of blushing blooms. But, there are times when I blink -

source

  and suddenly, the trees are bare, and my farmhouse 

has turned to stone, surrounded only by freshly fallen snow.

source

Just weeks before, frayed, green fields

 are freckled with plump, orange pumpkins.

source

Then, all too soon, earthy tones set in, the air begins to cool,

source

  and the farmhouse facade mirrors nature's dusty hues.

source

 BTW, all these pastoral beauties today, 

source

 including the oil on canvas, above, 

were 'made in Canada, eh', except the one below.

 No, it's not a farmhouse, but my home away from home.

Fascinated by any of these lovelies? 
Do, tell!

Thanks for visiting!
