Our beloved barn burned down this morning. The farm caretaker Sam was already up and called it in quickly, and we are thankful for the strong and skilled response of both Loudoun and Fairfax Fire departments. Because of their efforts, the blaze was contained and the damage was limited to the barn itself. We lost about a dozen chickens, a tractor, and, of course, one of our most popular slides, along with the iconic sunflower and other art that decorated the barn. Fortunately, everyone's favorite mama pig Leona only lives at the barn during the fall season, so she was not impacted.

Long before it was home to a giant beanstalk, a half-pipe water slide, and the world's cutest piglets, it was a dairy barn. Built approximately 100 years ago, it was already old when we moved to the farm in 1979, but it served us well, and it has been a sturdy (and beautiful) backdrop for decades. Our landscape won't be the same without it. But mostly, we are so glad that the damage was contained, and our homes and our people are all safe.
