These cows have been grazing in the pasture between the barn and lake since the 1950s. They look good in spite of their advanced age, as do the pigs who prefer to stand nearer to the barn. It looks like some calf wants dinner. The farmer and a couple of horses are over by the barn door and may be seen in my photo titled Rounding the Curve.

This model train set has been in my family since 1951 when my father began setting it up annually at Christmas time. I have been carrying on that tradition for my children and now for my grandchildren. These are the steps it takes to assemble every year.
