Wagner Road In Moira, New York - Part 2

I was taking a driving tour of Wagner Road in the rural town of Moira, New York (see also Part 1, posted yesterday). This old barn was in good repair and appeared to be used for horses:

And speaking of horses, this herd were out in their pasture and I had to use the zoom lens to get a photo of them:

An old barn, out behind a more modern house:

Another horse, almost hidden behind a row of trees:

A large, one story barn, probably a cattle barn, which appeared to be unused, and sat behind a recently harvested corn field:

This house still had pumpkins for sale. There was only one $2 pumpkin left, but a good selection of  50¢ and $1 pumpkins for the local trade:

The same house harvested and sold maple syrup:

At the end of Wagner Road, I turned onto County Route 8 and photographed these two barns, one old and collapsing, the other newer and in good shape:

I continued on towards Malone on County Route 8 but stopped for a photo of this autumn corn field:

And one photo of this local resource, the Farm-to-Market Country Store:

Wagner Road In Moira, New York - Part 1

It was a dark and stormy night..........Well, actually it wasn't night and it wasn't stormy but it was rather dark, with rain predicted. I was on my to Malone to do some shopping and decided to turn onto rural Wagner Road in Moira, a town in Franklin County, New York. My first photo was of this old red barn, though I now wish I'd have included more of the house (on the left) also:

An old livestock or equipment shed, with a jumble of unused fences and gates:

Wagner Road had an abundance of horses, but none so beautifully colored as this herd. That little animal in the rear left was a black donkey:

Two old concrete silos, the barn long gone and the tipped power pole leading to nowhere:

A steel sided barn, probably once state-of-the-art but apparently not in use any longer:

These connected barns, all painted blue, appeared to be in active use but I couldn't tell what they were used for:

Modern, well kept barns, but no signs of livestock:

This appeared to be an old barn, but it was in perfect shape. The big hay bales behind it hinted that it might be used for hay storage:

And speaking of hay, this hay field was still dotted with round bales. I hope they will be brought to an accessible area before the snow covers everything:

I almost drove past this tiny shed but was stopped in my tracks by the fruit laden apple tree. I backed down the road to get a photo of it because I considered it a beautiful scene. But there was more to see, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
