State Route 11B, From The County Line To Nicholville - Part 1

I was on the road on a lovely, sunny day and decided to take a driving tour of State Route 11B in St. Lawrence County, from the Deer River to the town of Nicholville:

This is farm country and the first farm at which I stopped had these huge grain bins (and barking dogs who were not happy that I'd stopped along the road):

This lovely old farm house had built a brand new barn just recently:

This farmstead had freshly washed quilts flapping in the wind to dry. It is spring cleaning time, after all:

There were a number of Amish farms along the road, all of them looking prosperous, but this was the only one without Amish people working out front. Knowing how they dislike being photographed, I don't usually stop for pictures when they're outside working:

I stopped at this old silo, standing all alone beside the foundation of its former barn. I was intrigued by the picnic table nearby. Does some family have picnics there?:

A small house with a bright red roof and a tractor parked out back:

An enclosed front porch:

This small, abandoned house got me wondering who had lived there and what life may have been like for them:

A red barn and a greenhouse:

A farm stand and several barns were part of this farmstead. This was indeed beautiful, rural countryside and I had more distance to go before I arrived in Nicholville, so I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
