Found a strange small “room” in my ancient barn’s top

Historically, barn owls played a crucial role in rural farming life, particularly in pest control.

Farmers believed barn owls were highly effective at keeping pests in check, prompting them to construct nest boxes within their barns. This practice, rooted in traditional farming wisdom and environmental awareness, showcased farmers’ deep respect for the natural balance.

Nest boxes were often fashioned from readily available materials like wood and straw, ensuring they provided adequate ventilation and drainage for the owls’ comfort and safety. Placed strategically in barn lofts, rafters, and quiet corners, these nesting spaces harmonized farm activities with the owls’ nesting requirements.

Today, the tradition of building barn owl nest boxes endures as a cherished family practice passed down through generations. It goes beyond mere pest control, symbolizing a commitment to sustainable farming practices and the preservation of agricultural heritage.

This longstanding relationship between humans and the environment highlights our ongoing ability to coexist harmoniously with nature, showcasing a timeless bond that transcends generations

Woman says that having a stroke and becoming paralyzed from the waist down is the best thing that has ever happened to her

When two people say ‘I do,’ they promise to be by each other’s side in sickness and in health, but do they keep that promise when things get hard? Some are determined to remain their partner’s support until the very end, while other’s decide to leave. That is why we should always choose carefully who we want to spend the rest of our life with.

Riona Kelly and her husband were happily married for 14 years, or at least she thought so.

A one point in her life, this mother of two suffered a stoke which left her paralyzed from the waist down. Chances that she could ever walk again were poor, but doctors believed that over time, she could again stand on her feet with the help of exercises and a strong will.

Sadly, her husband wasn’t willing to support her during the process. Instead, he decided to leave her for good.

That broke Riona’s heart. However, as time passed by, she realized that having someone in her life as selfish as her ex-husband wasn’t what she wished for. She now knew that she didn’t need him anymore.

Riona started therapy with Keith, a personal assistant who was about to help her get her old life back.

The two spent much time together, and eventually fell in love with each other. Her determination to get on her feet again and to never give up inspired Keith.

He was there for her through her tough times and helped her overcome them.

Eventually, she recovered and the two are still together. Her kids love Keith and they even refer to him as to their dad.

Not even in her wildest dreams did this woman believe that a tragedy could lead to finding the love of her life.
