County Route 52 and County Route 6 - Part 2

I was taking a driving tour of rural County Route 52 and enjoying it very much. This home still had a Santa and his reindeer atop their arbor gateway:

Like nearly all the homes, this place was neat, trim and well kept:

This older home had lots of blue:

Set way back behind tall trees:

I passed through long sections of forested land:

And then saw a sign which explained that I was in the Brasher State Forest:

I saw more homes set back behind giant, old trees. At the time, I paid no attention to what species of tree they were, but now, looking at the photo, I'd guess they were Cottonwoods:

And wetlands:

And more forests:

The road passed from St. Lawrence County into Franklin county, thereby also turning from Route 52 to Route 6:

There were still no farms except for one Amish farm where I couldn't take any pictures because the whole family was out. But the small town homes continued to be lovely:

Trees and green lawn surrounded everything. But there was still more to see, so I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:

County Route 52 and County Route 6 - Part 1

It was a gorgeous day and I had lots of work to do around the farm, but I'd tired myself out the previous day and decided to take a driving tour instead. I began in nearby North Lawrence. This is the Google Maps view of North Lawrence. There's just a few homes and a giant yogurt factory:

I took St. Lawrence County Route 52, beginning at the yogurt factory:

The road had lots of small town charm and I was headed into farm country:

This home had both solar panels and a windmill:

A lovely front porch:

And colonial beauty:

As I got farther out into the rural area, I continued to see residences and not farms. But they were well kept residences:

This shady home had a big dog on the porch who gave me a brief "woof" but couldn't muster the energy for anything more than that:

Rustic log ornamentation, dressing up the front of the house. I liked it:

A woodsy home beneath tall trees:

And a smaller home, beneath shorter trees:

A boat for sale. I still had seen no farms but was enjoying this scenic drive. I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
