Minnesota 16.6.93 (2): Ruined Barns and Dancing in the Ruins

I thought of all this yesterday when we walked to the K. farm, a little paradise that once functioned as a virtually self-sufficient “monastic” community complete with workshop, beehives, smokehouse, etc. It’s now lived on by Glenn and Linda, who have a trailer and teach at the local community college, and who farm with Louis. And by Joseph, who pursues an almost eremitical existence in the old K. house, where he has kept everything virtually as it has been from the late 19th century.
