Exploring Heath Road - Part 2

I'd begun my driving tour of Heath Road in the town of Potsdam and traveled into the town of Stockholm, New York. This beautiful and colorful house and barns must have been near the town line:

There were herds of cattle:

And woods filled with maple trees with traditional sap buckets attached:

A classic farm home with American flag:

The road became decidedly narrower and I passed by this roadside barn with twin silos:

A house and garage with roof of cardinal red:

A very large farm with lots of farm equipment parked outside:

The melting snow had left water everywhere:

This farm had a cluster of old barns:

And a lovely old farm house:

As I neared the end of Heath Road, I passed by this woodsy home set back in the trees:

And then there was only woodland. I turned onto Hatch Road (a likely subject for future blog posts) and into the picturesque settlement of West Stockholm. My driving tour was over, so I put my camera away and continued on to Massena where I had some shopping to do:

Exploring Heath Road - Part 1

Spring finally arrived, albeit belatedly and in spite of the all the snow which lingered in shaded areas, and I hopped into my car for a driving tour of Heath Road. It took me from the town of Potsdam and into the town of Stockholm. I first came upon this woodsy camp which appeared to have been being remodeled when winter hit. I supposed that construction would resume as soon as the snow melted:

Another home set back into the trees:

This cute little red homestead had been abandoned:

An ultramodern, suburban type home:

And a white home with a big picture window and a large chimney:

But the scenery, which began as woodsy and turned to suburban, then began to look decidedly rural as I passed by old farms, with their fields, barns and equipment:

And big old maple trees along the road:

I again noted that big front porches for sitting are prevalent in this area, a trend I like very much:

A log cabin with an extra-large, barn style garage:

Burkum's Repair - which, judging by what was parked out front, must specialize in servicing large equipment:

A spectacular blue roof and classic white picket fence:

This place looked to be all set up for horses, though I didn't see any. Perhaps they were still in the barn or in another field. But there was yet much to see on Heath Road, so I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
