i was talking with copax today, telling him how excited we are to have him come over for dinner. i said, "i'll throw some steaks on the grill. then me, you & dan can play guitars, bass, drum etc... and i'll show you the barn!" i went online and within seconds found the pic above as well as this link showing the barn. it struck me, how odd.... i never would have guessed i'd end up living with a barn in my front yard, no less a famous one! (dan has 2 coffee table books at home on OH's bicentenial barns and there may be more.) the cold weather has kept the "barn groupies" away, but in warmer days i was there to see folks pull up, set the tripods up and take pics of themselves in front of the barn. weird....

i went from the city (pretty much the inner-city) to waking up to deer outside the bedroom window.

in looking at my online photos, i struck me how strange and amazing life is, that i ended up in the house, with this boy and these dogs... and a big red barn. a year ago i never would have guessed where i would find myself now. or how happy i would be!

here's my favorite pic from inside the house. magical.......

and incase this has gotten too mushy, let's not forget i live with crabby choir guy!!!!! click here to relive the horror............
