Snowy, Rural Beauty On County Route 56 - Part 3

I was getting closer to the place where I'd planned to end my driving tour, yet there was still more country beauty to see and photograph such as this farm home of Potsdam Red Sandstone with a tractor out front:

This old silo was still standing, but the barn was nothing more than a pile of rubble:

Another farm house of Potsdam Red Sandstone with an old barn out back:

A classic farm house with icicles hanging off the front porch and old maples standing guard:

This curious herd of beef cattle watched me with great interest. They were a mix of Angus, Hereford and the resulting cross, the very popular "Black Baldies." There was no gate keeping these animals from walking out onto the road, but they seemed content where they were:

This beautiful old barn was part of the property with the cattle. In fact, that lone Angus watched me until I snapped its picture and then it ran quickly behind the barn to join the rest of the herd:

A comfortable and friendly country home:

Alas, another barn falling into ruin. Although they make beautiful, interesting photos, it's a shame that so much history and functionality is disappearing:

And yet another old barn on its way down:

This wonderful farm had haying equipment and firewood and all manner of interesting things for me to photograph:

A third house built with Potsdam Red Sandstone:

But I was almost at the place where I had to turn off and continue my journey into town, so I took one last photo of this handsome herd of Angus. Then I put my camera away and concentrated on driving:
