At the start of the third week of work, looking up the driveway, it is really not very obvious that the barn is being renovated. Here's the view looking north.
Mid morning light on the white machine shed almost illuminates the two big gray stars on the sliding doors. Family lore has it that Aunt Janette Geiger Hoepner and Uncle Ross Geiger cut out newspaper patterns for the first stars that were painted on those doors. When the shed was redone in 2007 for Ortha Melick Geiger's 100th birthday celebration, the stars were repainted.
In a fit of Martha Stewart country decorating enthusiasm, Ed and I added the big lighted stars above the doors. These stars can be seen for several miles at night and are our way of keeping the light in life during the dark part of the winter.
