The famous five

Couldn't resist driving a few backroads just S and SW of the city the other day, coming back home past this well-known row of five red sheds. One year, the surrounding field was a sea of yellow Canola, which looked so beautiful. I saw my very first wild Skunk right here months ago. Unfortunately, the grass was long and I couldn't get a decent shot at all, but I was so happy to see the animal.

"These are prairie granaries. Believe it or not, this is how much grain used to be harvested off of each field. They were always lined up for ease of the truck and auger, usually red as red barn paint was a cheap paint to help them from rotting. Many skunks and fox will live under them . Most don't get any use anymore as granaries have gotten much bigger as harvest is better than the 50's." Thanks so much to Debbie Prediger for this interesting information!
