Rural Alburg Road In Moira, New York

I was taking a driving tour of some rural roads and came to the end of Elmer Road (yesterday's post), where I then turned right onto Alburg Road and passed by this outbuilding with its blue house door:

I remembered this elaborate tree house beside the road from passing it in previous years, but this time it was falling apart or being intentionally disassembled. I will never know, but I suspected the children were all grown up now and the tree house would soon be no more:

This looked to me like a classic Amish schoolhouse, with outhouses behind it and a pile of firewood to keep the kids warm:

I suspected this was an Amish barn, but I wasn't sure:

Every part of this farm looked Amish, and when I got home I discovered that one of my photos had caught an Amish woman who I hadn't noticed. I deleted the photo because I know they don't want their pictures taken:

One more Amish barn, this one with a wagon:

And across the road was a corn field, the stalks in traditional Amish shocks:

The next farm had a multitude of modern hay wagons:

And four gigantic silos:

The farm house stood on a hill, where it had magnificent views of the countryside:

Their mailbox was attached to an old-fashioned washing machine and painted to look like a Holstein. Some of the view which the house had can be seen in the valley below:

Another big farm with a grain bin:

And a herd of Black Angus:

As I neared the end of Alburg Road, I snapped a picture of this farm down in the valley below. Some day I'll try to find what road it is on, for I suspect it is a place I haven't yet seen. But this was the end of Alburg Road. I'll post pictures from the next road tomorrow:
