I’m wondering about the white shapes in rows to the right of the house. What are they? Beehives?
I think they’re pig houses.. I’ve seen similar ones in Ohio.

That could be, although they are rather neat and tidy — and close to the house, not where I would want them.
Maybe they are tiny haystacks? Although they are dwarfed by the geese along the front drive. Distributed rather too regularly to be sheep. Hmm.
I was thinking maybe the ideal country estate came complete with the ideal family cemetery gravestones.
