It used to be that we would see Mail Pouch Barns advertising chewing tobacco or "spit tobacco" - Now we see these barns cropping up that say "Save Face" - and on the other side it says "stop spit tobacco."

Trees In The Valley

I have found a dream of beauty at which one might look all one's life and sigh. 

 ― Isabella L. Bird

Are you familiar with Isabella Bird?  What a lady!

Wikipedia tells me that:

Isabella Lucy Bird married name Bishop (1831 – 1904) was a nineteenth-century English explorer, writer, photographer  and naturalist.

There is a lot of info about her and her writings on the internet.
Very inspiring lady! What she accomplished after the age of 58 is absolutely amazing!  and in the 1800s no less!  WOW!

Quilt Barn

I found some interesting info on Wikipedia about the history

of Quilt Barns:

A quilt trail is a series of painted wood or metal, hung or free standing, quilt squares installed at various locations along a route, emphasizing significant architecture and/or aesthetic landscapes. Currently North America has quilt trails in 43 of the United States as well as in two Canadian provinces. The first official quilt trail was begun in 2001 in Adams County, Ohio. Donna Sue Groves wanted to honor her mother, Maxine, a noted quilter, with a painted quilt square on the family's barn in Manchester, Ohio
