Rural Scenery In Constable, New York

I'd just toured the hamlet of Constable, but the town had a lot of rural land, so I turned onto Miller Road to see what I could see. The first farm I came to was big and well maintained, with multiple barns, three silos, a sugar house, a couple of grain bins and neat rows of hay bales:

 The farm was too big to get in one photo so I drove on, catching it again from a different angle:

 Still the same farm, this one showing the farm house:

 I continued on Miller Road, which became woodsy and made a sharp turn, where I stopped to snap a picture of this house, shaded by the many pine trees. I never noticed the pile of old furniture until I got home and looked at the picture:

 I saw no more farms, so I turned back the way I'd come, photographing this collection of barns and children's swings. The bigger red barn was full of firewood. And if you are wondering, this is indeed part of the same farm I began with:

 I turned onto Dineen Road, where I photographed this sizeable sugar house and other outbuildings:

 Someone was drying laundry on the line, behind which a number of horses appeared. They looked to me like the Welsh pulling pony I once had:

 The house which went with the ponies and laundry led me to guess that this was an Amish farm:

 A dairy barn, milk room and silo, with a row of baleage out front:

 The above barn was too big and too close to the road to get in one photo, so here's the rest of it:

 I found myself again in the hamlet, with no more farms, so I ended my driving tour. But before I put my camera away, I had to get a shot of this amazing creation, made from an old stump in front of someone's house. Very creative!
