Days Mill Road, Hopkinton NY - Part 2

I was taking a driving tour on Days Mill Road (see also Part 1, posted yesterday) and came to this small shed. It was being used to sell eggs and other items, but I guessed it was originally built as a place for the children to wait for their school bus:

I passed by old dirt lanes into the pine forest and ancient cedar fences, built in the old style:

A sturdy and comfortable country home beside tall pines and decorated for Halloween:

More old cedar rail fencing with a collection of barns:

The old cedar rail fence ran along the road, past farm and forest:

Cedar lasts for a very long time and this fence was in the old style, so it could easily have been a hundred years old:

This pasture stretched back to the forest and was bounded alongside the road with more cedar rail fence:

An old shingled barn in excellent shape, with a wonderful sign out front: "Just Be Kind"

The other side of the barn in the above photo, showing an old silo. The first time I drove this road I saw horses here, but I've never seen them since:

A house with a wonderful front porch:

A wood shingled house:

An old farm field which may have been a hay field. There was still more to see on Days Mill Road and I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:
