"This is similar to Turkey Hill painted in 1961, but when Dad painted this watercolor, the trees hadn't grown up so much. The house in the middle we are quite sure is an antique house at 35 Long Lots Road which is now owned by the Webbs. This is the scene from our backyard, looking across to the Sound and Turkey Hill Road. Neighborhood children still sled down the hill!"
