Mom's barn collapsed!
Posted under
My mom called last night. There was a powerful storm, and her 100+ year old barn collapsed. I’m going out there this morning, and I’ll get pictures. It was a wonderful old barn, and I’m going to miss it. What a shame.
It was still raining last night, so there was only so much information to be had. At least a few of Mom’s chickens were roosting in the wreckage of the barn. As of last night, Mom’s cat Simone hasn’t turned up. Fingers crossed that she wasn’t harmed or trapped underneath something.
First her kitty got run over, then this. When it rains, it pours. Literally. My frenzied hope is that losing one kitty in the space of a week is enough.
In case you were wondering, as I was, about Mom’s astrology, she has Saturn and Mars near her Pluto in the 12th house (Pluto and Mars rule her Scorpio 4th house cusp). Jupiter also squares her Pluto this week, and Uranus squares her natal Uranus.

Hi Molly
Just read your posting about your Mum’s barn…..I hope all the animals are ok.
A while back, a friend of mine sent me a card to celebrate my finding hope during a difficult situation, and your posting reminded me of it. The quote on the front of the card is from Masahide: ‘Barn’s burned down…now I can see the moon.’ The card is from Artists to Watch (see artiststowatch.com).
Thanks for a great site!
Best wishes to you and your Mum,

I loved that old barn. It was an absolutely beautiful grand old structure. What personality! Should have been an historic landmark! What a shame.
Glad your mom is OK, sorry about the critters. Wish I could help but Florida is a long distance to jump up and go. I am glad she has you there.
