Barn idioms...
"He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn" is a popular expression for a person having poor aim when throwing an object or when shooting at something.
To "lock the barn door after the horse has bolted" implies that one has solved a problem too late to prevent it.
"Were you raised in a barn?" is an accusation used differently in various parts of the English-speaking world, but most commonly as a reprimand when someone exhibits poor manners by either using ill-mannered language or leaving doors open.

I don't think my comment went thru just now...

Great barn shots & what a LOOOONG barn that 1st one is... something would seriously have to be wrong not to hit the broad side of that one! LoL! =)
Thanks so much for joining in & linking up to Barn Charm
ps I love it when they include the date on barns... I only wish they'd all do it.
Speaking of, I'm going to have to talk to my parent's & have them add the date on their barn, too. =)
Wow I thought it's Noah's ark that is huge and long barn. They might have many animals inside. Love the landscape of the second photo too. Thanks for sharing!
