Last barn post for a while

We have been in the barn now for about a month. These pictures were taken exactly one month ago. The barn has a wreath on it and a LOT more manure but otherwise, it looks about the same. I really love it. He did a wonderful job. You don't have to crouch down when you walk anymore (except for the new part and I did my annual banging of the head on a pipe today. But at least I won't do it for the rest of the year.) There's a lot of space in the front. And the barn cleaner works beautifully. He needs to go in the barn building business I tell him. Maybe I'll post a picture in the spring when it's painted and looks a little better. Then we'll be on to phase two which isn't as intensive.

Lincoln Logs

A friend said to me once that she was watching a comedy show about toys once and they were talking about Lincoln Logs. I guess the comedian said something like, "I built a log cabin, and then I built another log cabin... and that's about all you can do with Lincoln Logs." But I beg to differ. Just ask Van W. Furman and he'll tell you a different story. Here are some things that his Lincoln Logs become:

-manure

-snow

-sand

-dirt

-logs

-salt that the snow plow spreads

-and today it was egg shells. Daddy's out spreading egg shells on the fields hence the egg shells.

-silage

-seed corn

Licon Logs-an investment well spent!
