I can't help but think you are speaking of Vina, over by Corning and Gerber. If so you be careful in them parts I know some bad folk there. That said I just loved your poem. Autumn is a bountiful time of year and you captured that perfectly. Sorry about the way this comment opened I just know bad things about that area - God Bless

The perfect poem for an autumn read, beautiful. :) oh, and about the old barn - I LOVE old things- I mean really really get off on old things, relics, timeless artifacts...I cannot get enough! So the old barn I work in is a constant source of inspiration, Love Kristin
