Barn Day 

Barn Day is dedicated to barns, the structures used by farmers to house animals, equipment, grain, and hay.  The word is derived from an Old English word, bere, meaning barley, and aem, meaning storage place.   There are various types of barns, and the ways they have been made has changed over the years.  Three aisled Medieval barns greatly influenced many modern barns, and as equipment and technology has improved, barns have been made larger. In the first half of the twentieth century, many barns were built with gambrel and hipped roofs, which allow more space to house hay.  These barns are many times associated with modern dairy farms.  Barns are mostly painted red, and this could be because the ferric oxide used in red paint was cheap and available, and because ferric oxide possibly may help protect the barn.  Barns historically have been the center of a farm, many times being built even before the house.  Barns are a symbol of tradition, and they bring communities together.  The most obvious example of this is barn raising, which was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.  As building your own barn was a daunting task, barn raisings brought community members together to help each other.  Families were willing to help build another barn, as they knew that the community would in turn help them build theirs.

How to Observe

Celebrate Barn Day by driving out into the country to see as many barns as you can.  Really get out there and barnstorm—literally.  Take note of the different types of barns you can find.  Take photographs! Talk to a farmer about their barn and what it means to them.  They are quite uncommon today, but if you can participate in a barn raising or a barn dance, you would be celebrating the day in the best possible way. Throughout the day be sure to use phrases such as “Where were you born? A barn?” and “You couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn!”  When you are ribbing your friends in this way, make sure your “barn door” isn’t open, or they will have the last laugh!

Off topic but maybe good to know. Here is the link for the wildfire smoke map of North America. It’s updated often so at any time you go to it the smoke levels are close to real time. (The image above will remain the same but if you click on it you can see the current map at any time.)

I see that Tumblr is replacing the link with an image. It does that every time I try to change it to the link. Working on it. Meanwhile here’s an image of the link. You can’t click on it but you can copy it either by typing it out one character at a time or by downloading the picture of it and copying it from the photo if you can do that on your device.

""Heart In Hand" is a traditional folk art motif, associated with the Shakers, the Amish, the Pennsylania Dutch and the Masonic IOOF (International Order of Odd Fellows). 

It was widely considered to symbolize charity, "from the heart". The IOOF considered it to represent friendship, love and truth. The hand of this one was cut from a mailed envelope, quite possibly by the recipient, Miss Margie Hamman of Sparta, Wisconsin."

CLOSED STARTER

With: Sam Loftgren Where: Any coffee shop

A part of Del wanted to throw her hands up and complain that it wasn’t fair that her most honest relationship – her most trusted relationship – was predicated on a lie. But that part of her fell silent, because she was the one who had built an entire foundation from nothing at all. Little truths ensconced in big lies, big truths only finding their way forward because it felt like someone else was saying them. In the last eight years, Del had found so many ways to justify herself – so many things that rang hollow, even to her.

Two weeks in Pennsylania, two weeks pretending she was still in Boulder – a place she’d never been. One month since she’d fired off the text that she was going to be in the area for work, would it be okay if she stayed in Philadelphia? Now, her name was on a lease, and she was pretending this whole situation was fair more temporary than it was. One month of learning that a moment of courage doesn’t negate a lifetime of a cowardice, and it certainly shouldn’t have been enough to send her across the country and setting her life on entirely new trajectory. It was the final thought that propelled her to send the text that she’d meant to fire off before her obscene dose of melatonin could pull her under.

Finally in the same area code – got time for that coffee tomorrow?

The message was too casual – overcompensated to hide the quiet desperation in hoping for both a yes, and praying for a no. Throwing her phone into airplane mode hadn’t stopped the text from going through – she watched in tired horror as the bubble flashed blue. Even in her first run at real honesty, she dug her heels in on another lie. She wanted to take it back – wanted to unsend the message, wanted to pack her bags and leave the state. Lena Rivers could have it, because Del Rhodes maybe was only a girl who was never going to be meant for anywhere but Hilltop, Ohio. But she didn’t. Instead, she found herself with tired eyes (the melatonin, as it turned out, had no power against the weight of her own conscience and terrible decision making) and as many shots of espresso as the barista thought she could legally give her. She was just going to scope it out, she justified. Maybe Sam wasn’t Sam, either – that notion felt both cruel, and like a relief. She’d left her phone in her car, making good on the airplane mode she should’ve utilized the night before. For someone who had spent the better part of a decade lying, she wasn’t particularly good at it – not when she had nothing to hide behind. Her eyes flickered to the door with every chime of the bell, as though she wasn’t half an hour early. Somewhere between the first and fifth patron, her mantra shifted from ‘you can do this. just be honest,’ to ‘it’s not too late to get up and walk away, no one ever has to know.’

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!

About a year ago, my mom, her friend, and I went to a local wildlife rescue called T & D‘s Cats of the World. We heard about it with enough time to go to the final weekend it was open. It’s a hidden gem in central Pennsylania. While the name mentions only the big cats, the whole place was packed with many types of exotic creatures. We opted to do the guided tour so we could hear the stories about…

ABOUT:

The transient likes to buy lottery tickets, but always loses. He tells Cory and Shawn that he likes to lose, and then buys beer for them when they gives him a $10 bill for a $5 case. He walks back out to see them hugging, then admits that his brother has an "alternative lifestyle" (i.e. he's gay) and he doesn't have a problem with it.

Louanne is a woman at a truck stop in Reading, Pennsylania. She was very upset with her boyfriend and attempted to make him jealous with Cory, because Cory seemed like a nice guy. Topanga instantly became jealous, and challenged Louanne to step outside. When they came back in, they were instant friends, and she planned to braid Topanga's hair.
