I realize Christmas is over and you're likely returning gifts instead of buying them. If you're married to one of those guys who's difficult to buy for, consider getting him a barn next year for Christmas or for his upcoming birthday. It's my belief that every man should have at least one barn in his lifetime.
If you're a gal who appreciates a good barn and need a place to keep stuff you don't really need, then maybe you too should have your own barn. If you're married to a generous spouse, maybe they'd be willing to let you hang out in their barn from time to time. There would also be nothing wrong with his 'n' her barns as far as I'm concerned.
I've written about barns a few times in the past and several folks have even written books about them. Should you choose, you can find numerous internet sites with pictures of these cool rural structures. But be prepared: there are some awfully nice ones out there and more than one man has gone astray as a result of coveting his neighbor's barn.
I don't recall where I came across this picture, but it's a good one. If my old friend "Nickademus" saw this barn, he'd probably exclaim something like, "Dang-that's a dandy!": and he'd be correct!
As I come across other barn and shed related information, I'll try to keep you posted....
