As the animals wake and wander through its weathered doors, the barn watches the day unfold. Chickens peck, cows shoo flies with swishing tails, swallows fly in and out, and a cat crouches in the grass to hunt for dinner. When peepers start their evening song and the animals settle in their bedding again--the horses in their stalls, the cows in their pen, the swallows in their nests--the barn settles, too, until morning, when it gets to live the day all over again.
