Carolina Style Barn Party!

I love the countryside of North Carolina!  Driving through NC, I feel at home as soon as I see open fields especially when they are full of cotton, corn, peanuts, soybeans and tobacco.  I enjoy taking photos of old NC barns and thought I would share..amazingly enough these were taken at 55mph, don't worry I was the passenger!

Who doesn't love a good barn party?! I have enjoyed many in my neck of the woods! The barn photos made me think of photos I love from a friends birthday party, I just had to ask to please share!

Nothing is better than anything in a mason jar, especially Sho-Fly punch made with good bourbon!
