Connor Road, Parishville New York

I was on my way home from Potsdam when I decided to turn onto Connor Road to see the sights. This vegetable stand, closed and used for storage during the winter, belongs to an Amish family:

I believe that this barn was Amish also:

The Amish home. A telltale sign is the laundry, hung to dry on the front porch. There was also a giant barn on the farm with a lot of Amish boys playing in the snow. I waved, but couldn't take a picture because I've been told that Amish people find that offensive:

A log cabin with horses:

And a larger Amish home, this one being remodeled:

Here's another view of the above home. You can see that they have begun siding it but not finished:

A large and elegant suburban style home:

Another modern home. Many folks in the north country like country life, even if they have no intention of farming:

And an even larger country home:

As I came to the end of Connor Road, I snapped a picture of this old barn. The snow was slowly sliding off the roof, remaining in a curling sheet as it gradually moved farther from the building:

At the end of Connor Road was this old log cabin. I've seen it before and thought it was occupied, but it looked to be empty this time:

I turned south onto Connor Road (also called Conner Drive) from Route 11B just to see what was there. It should have been no surprise to find lots of Amish farms like this one:

And many horses such as this handsome work horse. There were two more horses behind him which are difficult to see in this photo. Notice that silo sticking up over the tree tops from the adjoining field:

A  herd of colorful cattle:

And two more horses of rather widely varying sizes:

A well kept barn and a modern house:

And another Amish farm:

This horse had plenty of hay but looked kind of lonely:

That is a snowy field in the foreground, not water. I wanted to show you the lovely view toward the east of Connor Road, of a broad valley with scattered mountains:

A big, modern house with a gigantic front porch:

Corn stubble, backed up by more trees. At this time of year, flocks of Snow Buntings are everywhere in such fields:

A barn and trailer. I don't think this was a stock trailer, though, as I didn't see any ventilation. Perhaps it was for snowmobiles or motorcycles:

The last place on the road was this wonderful old log cabin. I don't think it was occupied, but I could be wrong. I turned from Connor Road onto County Route 56 and put my camera away. The county road was also a rural beauty, but I had to save that driving tour for another day:
