Nellie Brown, 6, wears the unicorn boots she got for her birthday as she feeds chickens, Wednesday, April 3, 2019, at her family’s farm straddling Saltlick and Bullskin. Toys for Tots and the children’s grandparents are the main sources of Christmas and birthday presents for the Browns right now. As Nellie gets older, she will be expected to help out more doing chores and working at the farm store, her mother says.
