Hooray! Dan completed our farm sign today and she is glistening in the afternoon sun! 
The barnwood beams and boards were salvaged by Dan and his friend Adam many summers ago when we lived in Prineville, Oregon. That old barn in Powell Butte was erected in 1890 and was used at one point as a Pony Express resting station. I can’t believe they almost burned that baby to the ground! If Dan and Adam hadn’t disassembled that 3-story manmoth and salvaged all the wood, so much history would have been up in smoke.
When I look at the beams and see the hand-chiseled sides and notch-and-peg work, it blows me away to think what farmers had to do back in the days of old. Everything was done by hand! As we live and work on our land, we are thankful for all the hard work as it not only feeds our body, but our soul. I’m sure the old farmers use to think the same thing. Different day, same story.
The sign looks great keep up the good work and keep sharing your stories they are inspiring.
