Organised	Ann has planted a garden so that she has fresh vegetables to eat. She has a daily routine so that all her jobs get done including collecting the eggs, milking the cows and crossing the date off on her calendar.	So I made several trips to the store for supplies.

Cold War Timeline

Timeline

I got these events from googling events that happened during the cold war, I chose the ones that interested me and did further research. I added the date of each events and an image for each one. 

I imagine the valley to have the house in the corner opposite the stream with lots of trees and gardening down the end, with the tractor near the gardening.
