I'd entered Lawrenceville via small, country roads and was surprised to find it so much more populated than I'd imagined. When I got to Route 11, I arrived at the three or four buildings which I'd formerly thought was all of Lawrenceville. Now, I think I'll call it the center of the hamlet:
And, now back on the highway, I was still seeing old farm houses with barns and carriage houses out back:
This handsome old brick home was all dressed up for Christmas. This same house recently appeared on this blog all dressed up for Halloween. I'll bet these folks have kids:
A very old and formal looking brick home:
A major barn structure, apparently built in two stages:
And another rather stately home with both entrances protected from the winter weather:
A traditional white church with a steeple:
A small bungalow surrounded by massive farm fields under a big sky:
And a well built and well preserved barn of a rather different design, one which I thought looked like barns in the south:
This was a more common style of old barn, along with its silo and surrounding outbuildings:
A small onetime farm house. It no longer had a barn, but its owners sure had a big dump truck:
When I passed the Happy Cow Restaurant, I decided that I'd come to the end of Lawrenceville. The boundaries of these hamlets and villages are not always clear. The restaurant's sign said they were open, but it didn't look to me like it was. And speaking of food, I was getting hungry and anxious to get back to my awaiting dogs, so that's just what I did:
I would absolutely eat at a place called The Hungry Cow. :-)

I certainly considered eating there, and some day I may do it. Of course I'll take pictures and make a blog post out of it.
