Sledding at the Farm
Image
Two boys sled down a snow covered hillside at the farm. Two leafless trees are on the right. Along the horizon is a red building on the left with a fence stretching across to the right.The following is a recollection from the creator: "Sledding at the Farm. East of the barn was the hill that offered the best sledding on winter days. Ralph and I would take our sleds to the top of the hill, take a belly flop onto our sleds, and slide with great speed down the hill. We would swerve and pass in front of each other. At the bottom of the hill, we would get off our sleds, turn around and walk up the hill again, ready to slide down another time."
1945
