Re: GR translation: Contrasting wood x’s on closed doors

Although most barns here (WI) do not have this, the Fisher Price barn I grew up playing with sure did - a big white X on each half of the red door.  So yes, contrasting color makes sense to me.

The sun makes the water sparkle. The housetops are red, the steeples are white. Everything is miniature, neat, gently pastoral, locked into the rise and fall of seasons. Contrasting wood x’s on closed doors. The brink of autumn. A cow sez moo. The milkmaid farts at the milk pail, which echoes with a very slight clang, and the geese honk or hiss. The four envoys drink watered Moselle and talk mandalas.
