County Route 44, Between Madrid and Waddington, NY - Part 2

I was driving on County Route 44, on my way from Waddington to Madrid (see also Part 1, posted yesterday). This small barn stood all alone in a snowy field, but the basketball hoop and satellite dish caused me to think that a house once stood there also:

A spectacularly beautiful farm house:

A nice home and barn. Just look at that wrap-around porch!:

A house, small barn and livestock trailer, with miscellaneous farm equipment in the adjacent field:

And when it comes to impressive, modern farms, this beauty would be an example. It was also picturesque and I had to get a photo:

County Route 44 crossed the Grasse River on a narrow bridge:

An old, wooden barn, apparently no longer in use:

A large barn and silo, right up next to the road:

A small cluster of outbuildings, up on a rise:

And a herd of handsome Angus cattle who appeared to be coming up to the barn because there was a feeder there:

A giant, old barn in great condition:

The last picture I took was of this barn and home, which sat back off the road so I had to use my zoom lens. It was a picture of rural tranquility, the kind of place which inspired me to retire to my own farm:

County Route 49 - Part 2

I was touring County Route 49 and was still in the town of Hopkinton (see also yesterday's post), though I'd soon pass into the town of Stockholm:

This old barn sat, unused and growing weeds, off the road a bit. Notice the old fashioned weather vane:

This extremely large house, in the settlement of Fort Jackson (in the town of Hopkinton), has been being renovated ever since I moved here and it's beginning to look good:

Alas, this old church has been abandoned for many years. It was for sale not too long ago but is no longer listed. I wonder if someone will turn it into a home?

An old fashioned horse trailer was parked along the side of the road:

A classic farm house with working chimney, metal roof and two porches:

A small barn, now a garage:

Two steel barns, hiding behind the pine trees:

A house covered with board and batten, with two large porches:

Two old barns, apparently no longer used:

A very nice house with more porches. That's the style up here:

And even the new homes are built with porches. But there was still a lot more to see on even this short stretch of Route 49, so I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:
