Exploring Heath Road - Part 1

Spring finally arrived, albeit belatedly and in spite of the all the snow which lingered in shaded areas, and I hopped into my car for a driving tour of Heath Road. It took me from the town of Potsdam and into the town of Stockholm. I first came upon this woodsy camp which appeared to have been being remodeled when winter hit. I supposed that construction would resume as soon as the snow melted:

Another home set back into the trees:

This cute little red homestead had been abandoned:

An ultramodern, suburban type home:

And a white home with a big picture window and a large chimney:

But the scenery, which began as woodsy and turned to suburban, then began to look decidedly rural as I passed by old farms, with their fields, barns and equipment:

And big old maple trees along the road:

I again noted that big front porches for sitting are prevalent in this area, a trend I like very much:

A log cabin with an extra-large, barn style garage:

Burkum's Repair - which, judging by what was parked out front, must specialize in servicing large equipment:

A spectacular blue roof and classic white picket fence:

This place looked to be all set up for horses, though I didn't see any. Perhaps they were still in the barn or in another field. But there was yet much to see on Heath Road, so I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
