Another Barn

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... The Rural Life...



Barn full of straw


This barn is located on the Little River Church Road in eastern Christian County, Kentucky. Some farmer has a nice stash of straw in it. He (or she) will probably sell or use some of it for animal bedding, particularly for horses, during the winter. Lowes was selling straw for $3 a bale this spring, so the farmer surely has $1000 or more of straw here even if he (or she) doesn't sell quite that high. It's hard to estimate how many bales might be in the barn!

Actually, I think it's highly likely that the farmer is a "he", but just this once, I'm giving any lady farmers in the county their due.

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
