vintage barn

I was only looking for a little bit of shade but I came across this amazing 1930's barn. She's still being used and loved despite the obvious needed repairs. I was curious about the metal stacked out front, upon inspection I found they are grape stakes pulled from a field that is being replanted. While looking like a mess the stakes are actually laid together so that the ones on the bottom don't bend. Meaning these old stakes are being used again in the near future.

I have become so interested in value and ownership over the last decade. Spending most of my life in socal, and now being in rural norcal, I have noticed how differently people care for their assets. The families that live in this area for the most part would never buy a depreciating asset unless it was a piece of farm equipment or a tool. They are far more worried about production than they are consumption, and the millionaires here drive dirty trucks and wear old jeans. I appreciate it a little more everyday.
