Hi Mike. I love this shot. It brings out the pioneer spirit in me. Is that fresh baked bread I smell?

Davina – Thanks. There wasn’t any baking going on when we were ther.

Natural – Thanks. I think it’s a corn crib. Corn still on the cob was stored in the crib until needed for grinding into meal or for feed for the animals. The larger roof provided shelter for farm equipment, I think.
