Reply to "a picture a day...."

Excellent photos everyone.  Since I have been missing some days, I decided to make up for a day by posting two photos.  As I have been spending a lot more time at the Boyce Homestead this year helping my elderly mom and dad, and I got back to mowing grass there, I thought I would post a couple photos of this N scale diorama of the homestead as it looked when I was growing up in the '60s.  I worked off photos I took, and built it all by scratch.  That was in the late '80s long before 4 carpal tunnel surgeries and arthritic thumbs and fingers make it hard for me to handle small tools and parts with good dexterity.  Most of the trees on the diorama were there at the time I build the diorama, but have been cut down and other trees and bushes are now near maturity.  Wow, has it been that long!  Also, I forgot how steep and long that back yard hill actually is.  The diorama doesn't show that, but my twice injured ankle certainly feels it now when I am mowing.  Hey, whatever it takes to help the Godly man and woman who I can credit with guiding me into the person I am today!!
