The Murder in the Red Barn in 1827 in England was a notorious case.
The victim disappeared and her body was discovered a year later,
buried in the 'Red Barn', but only after her mother dreamed about it.
Jotto's Red Barn series is quite different,

as though seeing all, but revealing nothing.
One might wonder about that young man who disappeared.
Surely not hidden in plain view, in sight of the homestead?

The summer storm drenches the soil and the corn grows higher,
Gradually submerging the scarecrow in a sea of green.
Soon it will be Harvest and the land cleared for Winter.
