Red Barn

Why are barns red? I looked it up and found something about colourblind cows and rust.

Not that I’m objecting. I like red barns. They are actually quite attractive.

Red Barn was the name of the fast-food restaurant that one of the mother’s at my elementary school used to take us to on Fridays. Greasy fries in paper bags and burgers with pickles and ketchup. Sure beat the tuna sandwich my mom packed everyday.

Anyway, Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is red, so you can blame her for the rambling.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  1. Red is the proper barn color. There’s a blue one near to me, and it’s not bad, but it’s not red either. There was a Red Barn in Saratoga Springs when I was a kid. It went out and a Popes Pizza went in. Building is gone, but Popes is still making pizzas a few blocks away.
