Description:
Unstretched and unframed. Formerly stapled. Daily life on a ranch. In a large open space, a man loads a flat, open wagon partially
filled with boxes while a horse stands in its harness to the left; a boy carries a pair of boxes from a stack in left foreground
toward the wagon with a tan dog prancing beside him; on the right, three girls jump rope and two boys play ball near chickens
and a tethered cow. The man and boys are dressed in blue overalls. The girls wear dresses. In foreground right, a man in blue
with brown bag full of mail inserts mail into a mailbox on a fence enclosing green trees. A bicycle is parked next to him.
A blue wheelbarrow lies in center foreground. In the background a large red barn stands with its doors wide open as a pitchfork,
rake, shovels and a ladder lean against it next to a sign, "Lucern Ranch," to the left. A woman with a child on her back hangs
laundry in the space between the barn and a small grey house with yellow trim and a black stovepipe on the right. Chickens
are visible in the house through the open door. A log pile peeks from behind the house under green trees. A water tower with
a windmill rises above the buildings under a blue sky.
