Going Up the Country

Without exception, 
(and I mean every single time), 
when Tom says, "I'm going to the country," 
this song plays in my head...
Going Up the Country by Canned Heat on Grooveshark
Yet another barn on yet another snowy day.
These country road trips keep the cabin fever at bay and reinforces just how beautiful the Midwest is...

“Our love was somewhere between blue and green. I thought it was turquoise, and she thought it was teal, and that’s ultimately why we broke up. Well, that and she fell for a guy whose last name was Brown, of all colors.” 
― Jarod Kintz, Love quotes for the ages. And the ageless sages.

"The snow itself is lonely or, if you prefer, self-sufficient. 
There is no other time when the whole world seems composed of one thing and one thing only."

I'm so in love with this barn.
I couldn't get enough of it.
And then the fact that mine were the only footsteps.
Nothing but goodness from the time spent here...

I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.” 
― Dylan Thomas, A Child's Christmas in Wales
It's just not right to have winter without a snowman.
It's official.
It's winter...

“The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”
  ~~Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
Last night we stayed with Shannon as we travel back and forth to the University of Illinois to watch the IHSA State Wrestling Tournament. We pulled off long enough to capture a picture of this beautiful old barn that has survived a lifetime on the flat Douglas County prairie.

"If you live a life like the rest of the military brats out there, where is home? 
Home is where your family is, home is where your friends are, home is where your heart is. 
It can be in one place for most people but for us brats, it is in many places. 
It is where we left our friends, it is where we left our grandparents, aunts, uncles, counsins."
  ~~Cheryl A. - www.militarybratlife.com
That attic grows more empty every day.
I delivered the German China coffee service that belonged to my grandmother, Oma, to Shannon today.
It's been stored under the eaves waiting for her to own a home where she will have room to keep it.
It was still wrapped, each piece, in newspaper, and stored in old packing boxes left over from one of what seems like hundreds of moves growing up. Now she has her home, she has the room, and I'm waiting for an invitation for "Kaffee und Kuchen".
