While My Husband Recovered From a Stroke, My Son Painted Our 100-Year-Old Red Barn Gray So I Brought 40 Gallons of Red Paint Home

I saw it in my headlights on a Thursday night in September.I was coming up our lane at a quarter to ten with a bag of dirty hospital laundry on the seat beside me.The yard light was on, the way it always is. It throws a white circle across the gravel and climbs halfway up the south wall of the barn.And the wall it climbed was gray.Not old gray. Not weathered gray. New paint. Flat and even. Laid right over the old boards.I stopped the car in the middle of the lane with the engine still running.
