They Don't Make Them Like They Used To

How many times do you find yourself saying that in today's "throw away" society?  I guess I'm old school. because I love old houses that are built like tanks, big iron horses from farm days gone past, and anything antique.  And I mean REAL antiques.  Not something that's just 20 or 30 days old.

So I squealed with absolute delight when I saw this covered bridge on the way to an auction outside of Liberty, Missouri last weekend.  Yes, it was built in 1999 but how many new covered bridges are being built nowadays?  This is the first I've seen.

As usual, click to biggify and get a better look at the pics.

I love the rustic look of the wood on this bridge.   And the flag is the icing on the cake.

Nice and cool in the shade of this bridge on a hot summer day!

The walkway is real brick!  Someone really paid alot of attention to the details when they built this.

The sky was beautiful Saturday - look at how blue it is!

If you look closely in the last picture, you can see our truck on the other side of the bridge with our new Swisher offset mower on the back.

Have a great day, everyone!
