Farm Photos

The farm house is above, a picture taken last autumn. It's a three bedroom, two bathroom house. The first floor was lived in and in decent shape but the upstairs hadn't been tended to in thirty or forty years and needed a great deal of work. That's coming along nicely, though it's getting expensive. There's a big, unfinished spare room on the back of the house which I hope to turn into an apartment for myself when I drive up for a weekend. The main part of the house will need to be rented in order for me to keep paying the bills.

There's just over twentysix acres, a north field of about seven acres and a south field of about nineteen acres. The photo below, shows the house and barn as seen from the north field. There's a small dirt road running alongside the barn and house which separates this field from the rest of the property. It has so very little traffic that it should pose no problem. All the land needs livestock fencing, but that will have to wait.
Below is the south end of the barn where it's had steel siding added. Unfortunately, the constant high winds have broken the sliding door here and also on the north end. Sigh. More repairs needing to be made.
The scene below is of the house and barn as seen from the larger, south field.
And again. One of the local farmers is keeping the fields hayed. He gets the hay, I get a few bucks and the fields are prevented from getting brushy.
Wally, one of my six dogs, running for joy in the south field. How they love to go up there!

The house faces to the west, looking across the neighbors' fields where his horse and cattle munch hay every evening. The sunsets are wonderful and are enhanced by the peaceful, contented livestock in the foreground:
