MY LIST:

1. My uncle has a red barn. We would play in it at family reunions that were almost always held at his house. One year he had a long rope attached to the rafters for us to swing on. It was really fun.

2. When I was little, I thought grandmas and grandpas all lived in little white houses with white picket fences and big red barns - out in the country. (I didn't have my own grandparents - so, I am guessing I got the idea from watching television.)

3. When I was 9-10 we had our own red barns (a few small ones and one main large one.) I loved to play in the big barn with the barn cats and the horses.

4. Silverdale, a town I lived in for many years (off and on again) has a feed store located on the main street in a big red barn like building. I remember watching them paint the mural on the side of the building. I used to buy feed for my rabbits there.

5. I love to take pictures of red barns sitting in big green fields.

What are the First Five things that come to mind when you see this:
1. Amen!
2. The greater appreciation I have as an adult, than I did as a child, for the country I live in and the Constitution that is unique to this nation.
3. Our Ohio Barn Project. Celebrating the 200 yr anniversary of Ohio becoming a state (1803-2003), a bicentennial barn was painted in each of the 88 counties. We made a point to travel to all between 2003-2005. A wonderful way to get to know your state.
4. Red barns say 'Americana' to me.
5. Barns remind me family farms are the backbone of America and are struggling to survive. It's hard work, and under appreciated by many.
