All the things that described were suddenly separated from them. The speaker is sharing these perceptions with the reader, guiding them through the empty farmhouse and out into the fields and yard, down into the cellar, to reinforce this idea of a complete abandonment by the family. Its toys are strewn in the yard like branches after a storm- When a storm hits a tree it usually knocks off a branch or two and they fall down and lie in strange places, as if they shouldn't be there and this is exactly what the simile implies - the child's toys have been caught up in a storm, a metaphorical storm? Its toys are strewn in the yard like branches after a storm—a rubber cow, a rusty tractor with a broken plow, a doll in overalls. I then leaned into the big red door, hearing it screech as it opened. The child's toys are scattered across the pasture.
