OLD BARN № 033
As with many other of my barn photos, this one was hurriedly snapped as I stood on the roadside by the car, hoping to catch the shot before another car came along and posed a threat to my safety standing there. It wasn't under after I returned home and transferred the photo to my computer that I realized I had caught the back-end of a horse in the shot. I thought I had framed the shot better than that... 😂 Yes, I could easily have edited the horse-butt out of the photo before posting it here, but where's the fun in that...?!?!? 😛
As can be seen, there are many rolls of hay available to keep the horse's appetite satisfied once the cold of winter arrives. In fact, some farmers routinely harvest more hay than they need for their own livestock so they can sell or give it to other livestock owners who don't have their own fields to mow for the hay. These rolls of hay are very heavy, weighing several hundred pounds each, and have to be moved by a tractor especially equipped with a bar on the front, or forks, similar to a forklift.
This particular homestead is situated on a nice chunk of land. The below edited aerial view from BING Maps shows the layout. The landowner might even own some of the wooded-area adjacent to the homestead proper, I don't know.

If you had a place like this, what would you do with it? Would you plant a garden? Or keep livestock? Or just enjoy having a few acres of privacy where you could skinny-dip in the pond, in peace?
