Personal Project: Old Barns of Illinois, Part 3

I am so happy to show off the third and last installment from my old barn series from our trip to Illinois back in late April. Now if we were to go to Illinois now, our days would be filled with shucking fresh corn and battling 100 degree plus heat. The fields would be green…

    Ashley-Lauren
