Layout Revision

One Saturday project was rearranging the living room. It's a challenging room because its square and two sides are dedicated to TV and fireplace. This change put Mother's office toward windows and opened way to kithen. Also employed one of two Iranian rugs bought 3 years ago but not used due to pattern. Other one is 9 by 12. Creates a nice focal point aaaand is actually a very long and dense yarn.

Illinois Cowbarn

History is gone. 100 year old barn, abandoned for generations, standing then gone.

Illinois Cowbarn

Illinois was made up of 10 acre farms operated with strong backs, a horse and maybe a Model T. Those farms are now combined into 1000 acre cornfields worked from inside huge and comfortable John Deere tractors. In addition to corn and beans many farms maintained small herds of cows. The old cow barns are long abandoned ; allowed to weather and crumble. Today a few still stand as reminders of harder times. This one is majestic and beautiful as it sags and leans. It will be gone soon.
