Oh, I get that, Trish. Not too jealous, winter is a part of me (the frozen, frostbit part). They are neat looking barns.
I do have one suggestion (yeah, I know, but my advice is worth every penny you pay for it!), you might want to invest in cow mats for Daisie's and Elsie's stalls. Cows have very tender hocks that bark easily on new cement. When we built the new part of the barn we decided that we couldn't afford the mattresses we planned to put down until the next year. We were milking 40 cows then and before the year was up, we had lost 10 to what's known as new cement disease. They would bark their hocks, develop an infection that in a very short time went to their hearts. It was a hard earned lesson. Cow mats will prevent that and make Daisie and Elsie happy campers.
