Finished with the morning chores
Robert Elwell lives with his wife Erma on their dairy farm in central Maine. Together they have operated their dairy farm over most of the 20th century and into the 21st. Bob’s steps bear the stories of a lifetime on the farm. There are reflections of hard work, accidents, great pride and perseverance: a deliberate pace and direction.
