Hazen Road, Town Of Moira

I was taking a driving tour of rural Moira, New York and had just come to the end of Alburg Road (see previous posts). I turned onto Hazen Road and passed this simple home, surrounded by farm fields. It looked to me like a quintessential "little house on the prairie:"

This elaborate barn sat back behind cattails and large bails of hay:

A silo (behind the spruce trees) and several small barns:

A farm house with lots of pumpkins:

A red barn, grain bin and silo:

A busy cluster of barns, equipment and silo. In fact, the road ended at this farm and I had to turn around in its driveway:

I drove on past where I'd begun on Hazen Road and continued my tour, enjoying the lovely rural scenery:

This old barn had a sunflower painted on its door:

Well fed Holsteins lounged comfortably near a farm pond:

And in many places, the cornfields grew right up alongside the road. My windows were down and I could hear the cornstalks and leaves rustling as I passed:

Hazen Road was a small road and I soon arrived at a larger, county road. This prosperous farm was near the intersection:

I turned onto the county road but then quickly pulled over to take one last photo with my camera pointed back toward Hazen Road:

Elmer And Alburg Roads, Town Of Moira - Part 2

I was taking a driving tour of Elmer and Alburg Roads in the town of Moira (see Part 1, posted yesterday) and had come to an Amish farm:

It was classic rural beauty on an autumn day:

The Amish had built an impressive stone wall and a row of corn shocks ran down the field:

There was an old fashioned windmill:

And an Amish sawmill:

I continued on, passing this house with its supply of firewood:

More Amish corn shocks:

An impressive barn and silo:

This very modern farm had a traditional wooden barn which apparently no longer housed cattle:

But they were actively and, it would seem, profitably farming. Somewhere along my tour I'd turned onto Alburg Road from Elmer Road, but Alburg Road was ending. I'd now have to turn onto Hazen Road from here, but I'll post about that tomorrow:
