I think that picture of the barn is beautiful. What is it about barns that tug at the heart?

I think we are all drawn to barns, because of what they represent: wholesome, hardwork, clean country living, a simpler, slower pace of life. My senses are all aroused in barns . . . the sweet aroma of hay and straw, even the smell of livestock, the quiet settings they rest in are a feast for my eyes and I enjoy listening to the gentle moos and oinks of livestock and the happy chirps of barn swallows. Some people may long for castles and mansions . . . give me a barn any day!

This sounds silly (and oh-so-obvious) but the reason why so many barns were/are painted red is because red barn paint is cheaper. Now why do you think red barn paint is cheaper???
Because so many people buy it.
 I know silly, but I got this right from an old guy that ran a little hardware store that asked the question of his Dad when he had the little hardware store.
Nice barn, BTW - is it yours?

Well, Tracey, I am probably too late to throw in a suggestion but your blog page wouldn't let me leave a comment and your profile here doesn't have an email address. So, if I am not too late how about "Barntootin'"
Just an idea, have a good one and I would be interested to know if you have your soaps for sale posted anywhere.
Thanks
Kathy

Kathy, sorry about that! When I signed up I didn't realize there wasn't a PM feature on this website. I just changed it so I can get emails  Barntootin is cute! Not sure why it wouldn't allow you to leave a comment...but I've had that happen a couple of times with blogger, too; sometimes it tells me I'm not using the correct username, (after it logs me in, lol!)
MB, you can go ahead and email me the pics (now that I've got it working!)
I'll 'unveil' the new blog come morning  Plus, the winner of the drawing for the barn notecards (if you haven't left a comment yet, better hurry up and do so!)
