Town Ridge Road, County Route 36, Norfolk NY - Part 2

I continued my driving tour of Town Ridge Road, stopping to snap a picture of this wonderful old shed next to a matching, weathered old barn:

And this antique tractor, apparently still in active service, and wagon:

This beautiful old farm house with its full width front porch and barn made for one of the most attractive farms I've seen in a long time:

Another old barn:

And a farm house, set off the road, with a bright red roof:

Modern farm equipment:

And antique farm equipment:

Another old barn or shed:

As you can see, this was real farm country. The fields were broad and flat, giving me the idea that this was part of the St. Lawrence River flood plain and the soil was not only flat, but rich:

At the end of the road sat this old farm house. I snapped a photo, put my camera away and concentrated on finding my way home:

I was returning home from the veterinarian's office (Draco was sick) and it was such a lovely day that when I passed a road heading off to the west, I decided to give it a try. It was morning and I was driving west, so the sun would be behind me for any photos. The first place was a dairy farm, where I snapped a picture of several cows, placidly chewing their cuds:

They had many long silo bags, perhaps six to eight feet high, with silage stored from last summer:

And old fashioned silos as well. The smaller tower was, I believe, a grain bin:

A sugar house. Family farms in this part of the country often have sugar houses and make their own maple syrup:

More silos, barns and a grain bin:

I stopped to photograph these handsome equines, debating whether they were ponies or miniature horses. I can only guess, of course, but they looked like Shetland ponies to me:

A lovely old farm house, well cared for, with a barn behind it:

Two weathered old barns alongside the road:

And a brick house with an addition - or was it an old frame house with a brick addition?:

A wonderful old barn with a dog kennel in front of it. This was lovely country and I hadn't yet reached the end of the road. I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
