Family Photos 3: Bicycles in the Barn

My mom grew up on a small farm with chickens, though the farm wasn't the main source of income for the family. I spent a lot of time in the Chicken House (name of the barn) as a kid, playing hide-and-go-seek and exploring through piles of dusty things. My grandfather is the sort of person who never throws anything out, and over the years various relatives have stored belongings in different parts of the Chicken House, or have lived in the one inhabitable section, filling the barn with relics. This year, I took a closer look at the bicycles in the barn. I don't know what will happen to them in the long run; I think our family thinks of the farmstead as a family establishment and isn't ready to think about it.
