“Inside a barn is a whole universe, with its own time zone and climate and ecosystem, a shadowy world of swirling dust illuminated in tiger stripes by light shining through the cracks between the boards. Old leather tack, lengths of chain, rope, and baling twine dangled from nails and rafters and draped over stall railings. Generations of pocketknives lay lost in the layers of detritus on the floor.”
Carolyn Jourdan, Heart in the Right Place
Perfectly written, Carolyn’s words epitomize the essence of being inside a barn. Layers of history, love and hard work. The perfect quote to begin the August Daily Barn Love series.
