Part 2 - County Route 54, Lawrence New York

I was traveling County Route 54 on my way to the town of Lawrence to refill my honey and taking photos along the way. I passed by Stauffer Farms, one of the largest in the area:

And this huge equipment shed and tarped pile of - well, some kind of silage:

A picturesque farm house with lots of vehicles:

I began to enter the village of Lawrenceville (in the town of Lawrence):

And I came into a pleasant residential area:

There were clean, comfortable homes here - places for folks who really like small town living:

This looked to me to be a former farm home with its barn now serving as a garage:

Comfortable, friendly homes:

And sprawling homes with wide porches:

Homes nearly hidden beneath trees:

I passed this old false front garage when I was just about at the intersection:

And next to it was this old, matching building which seemed to contain apartments. The front of this building faced the highway and appeared to once have been a store of some kind, perhaps the general store for the area. But I'd come to the end of County Route 54 and it was time for me to put my camera away and go buy some honey:

Part 1 - County Route 54, Lawrence New York

This began as a simple drive to the town of Lawrence to replenish my jar of locally grown, minimally processed honey. But the day was so beautiful that I decided to take photos of County Route 54 along the way. The trees still showed lots of autumn color where they bordered the hay fields:

And small homesteads appeared here and there. This could easily be dubbed "The Little House On The Prairie." And just take a look at that sky!:

This little red vehicle was parked near several piles of firewood and I could only imagine that it was used for hauling it back from the woods:

I passed by extensive corn fields bordered by wild apples:

The corn was turning brown and I wondered if perhaps they'd waited a bit too long to harvest it. But I think the farmers intentionally let it stand so the kernels dry more and will store longer:

This was almost exclusively farm land but I passed by occasional homes without barns. I did, however, discover that I could only photograph the north side of the road. The low, bright sun spoiled any picture I attempted on the south side of the road. I may have to have a "south side post" some day:

This large, modern farm had rows and rows of either haylage bags or corn silage bags. I didn't know how to tell which they contained:

Lots of farm equipement and out buildings:

A red roof back in the red leafed trees:

Corn stubble:

An old, abandoned home:

And more autumn color beneath beautiful skies. But there was more to see and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
