Thanks so much for commenting Jan. I wish I had known about your book and your website when I was doing my research. Your site photos are beautiful… and yes, barns were so important in America that I hope some survive. Adaptive re-use is a great way to go!

They lived on farms and I loved everything about their farm life. Thank you, Mr. Mock, for an enjoyable, detailed look at barns! The smells, colors, science, logic and animals there were a place of wonder!
