Hubbell Farm: Ray & Linda's "Toys"

As mentioned in a previous post, the Hubbell Farm (c. early 1800's) remains a working farm here in Shelton, CT. Ray has a few toys (tractors), about a dozen in all, including a 1940's vintage 26 hp "work horse" and an old "Walton's Mountain" truck he is restoring, and all but one of his toys, start up easily (truck included), purr like kitty cats, and are used for various chores around the farm. Occasionally Ray can be scene in the Memorial Day parade. Linda's "toys" have more personality, eat hay and produce fine yarns, which she sells in her shop. What a great education for the kids!
