This statement has defined our lives, for better or worse, for the last 4 months.  It is the question I asked every time I got home after dark and hadn’t yet had a chance to see the day’s progress.  It is the question that all of our friends, neighbors, and families ask us when they see us.  You see, “The Barn”, has been the focal point of the summer projects.  On the farm you typically have a list of summer projects.  Sometimes that list may have things like paint the barn or re-roof the barn, but complete rebuilding of the barn is another level of project entirely.  Therefore, we have spent a great deal of time deciding all the little things that will make our cows lives better.  For some reason, we had the idea that we would turn the barn around & have it finished in May.  It is now September.  However, like at the end of planting or harvest, we can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
