Intruder

147/365

Owning a barn is to have to constantly defend it against nature's bid to reclaim the space in which it stands. When we first moved in, there were raccoons and bats to evict. Since then, there have been squirrels, birds, mice, carpenter ants and carpenter bees, in addition to the steady assault of the elements on the structure. Now a jungle vine has slipped through a crack in the window and threatens our temporary stake here.
