This barn (shed) is in the Westby area.
I took the photo in September.
Oh, to see green grass again!

Why is it, that as soon as the snow comes, it seems like it's been winter forever. Maybe it's just me. But I'm not going to wish the winter away. I've read the story of 'The Golden Thread.' Are you familiar with that story? It goes something like this: A boy's life was represented by a spool of golden thread. When he became bored, he pulled on a little of the thread to get past the boring part. When he got tired of waiting for something, he would pull out a little more of the thread. All too soon, he had pulled out all of the thread because of his impatience. His life was near its end, but now it was too late to live all of his life as it was meant to be.
So I won't be pulling any of the golden thread of my life. We never know what tomorrow will bring. We might find ourselves wishing we could relive those cold days in December 2014.
To either of my daughters: If you know the story, please feel free to correct it in a comment. You know I'm not the story teller in the family. I'm the list maker and outliner. Your father can tell a wonderfully embellished story. I'm the one who sticks with the facts, ma'am, just the facts.

The barn above is really a double corn crib with a roof. It has storage on either side for ear corn and a place in the middle to store machinery out of the rain. The photo was taken in November, believe it or not. Everything's now snow covered.

We're looking at the back, where there seems to be a mini junk pile.
This farm is as neat as a pin.
I wonder what it's like to have all one's junk contained in such a small area.
They must be very uninteresting people. (LOL)
