I was on my way home from the animal shelter in Massena, NY and decided to take a driving tour of a side road I saw along the way, Upper Ridge Road. At first I saw only suburban style homes, but then I came to this log home, set back among the trees:
And an old barn beside a hay field, with a boat stored close by:
This clearly had recently been farm country, though the fields and pastures were beginning to go back to woodlands:
I had to drive slowly because I was following a tractor, pulling a wagon loaded with logs for firewood. The hilly terrain meant I had to wait for a safe place to pass:
Another log home, this one with pumpkins out front:
This old farm had haying equipment stored outdoors, near the road:
A fenced pasture, filled with stones. This used to be a common sight before big equipment made it easier to move the rocks:
A whole field of baleage, hay inside plastic wrappers where it can ferment as silage:
Two very old barns, a pile of rocks and some rusty equipment:
A cluster of outbuildings with a pickup truck parked nearby:
Two old barns in superb condition. I especially liked the new roof and tractor:
A traditional north country farm house, with barns out back. This was my last photo on Upper Ridge Road because it continued on as Maple Ridge Road. I'll start posting those pictures tomorrow:
