Contentment by design - Living

I don't know why barns are so often painted red, but I'm glad they are, especially when I see them in a snowy landscape.
[Actually, I just read about it: originally, farmers painted their barns with linseed oil with rust (ferrous oxide) mixed in for its anti-fungal properties, and the rust turned the orange-tinted oil red. After commercial paints became available, red remained the color of choice due to tradition.]
