Barn owners Larry and Julie work really hard to keep the property in shape. Keeping it in shape means nearly constant attention to routine chores, plus the seemingly endless fix-it projects that pop up. There's so much to do that I would think both of them would be exhausted and wrung out, but they're always super pleasant, quick to smile and laugh, and ready to help with anything. With all they have going on, I thought it was really great that Larry could spend some time doing a silo re-do, just for the heck of it.
I had gone to the barn for a couple days in a row and noticed that the lower part of the silo was being painted. I just figured that they were painting the whole silo red to match the barn.
It wasn't until at least my third day of parking the car and walking by the silo that I noticed that the silo paint job was mimicking the barn entry - part of which can be seen on the left. I asked Larry about the project and he just shrugged and said he thought it would be fun. Just for fun ... so simple!
