On the way home from Ohio-

I kept seeing these

Black Barns.

So I looked it up.. They are painted with

creosote so they will draw more heat to

cure the tobacco hanging in the barns .

Mom searched and searched and found it in the

bed. So we took it home so the  Tooth Fairy

would come to get it .
