winter walk in nj

larry@stinescorner · Jan 24, 2011

I couldnt stay in the house any longer, but I couldnt go too far because I had to pick my daughter up from school, so Itook a walk around the neighborhood, I took my camera with me, Sorry I didnt spot any tractors, but Idid spot some deer. The old barn in the last two pictures was a dairy barn, and where my street is there is 14 houses that were built in the late fiftys early sixtys that used to be a large pasture for that dairyfarmer

I now how you feel. The farm I grew up on has grown one hundred fifty houses, makes me sick. The house I built for my bride sixty years ago is still standing and has been well taken care of I saw it this summer.

Now I know where our deer went for the winter; hope the feral hogs followed them.

Hang in there; Spring is only two months away.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us; always enjoy your photos.

SIX deer? Must have been a big die off. Anywhere from 20 to 50 in my alfalfa field.

Nice pics, Larry, I was over in the pine marshy part of the state, yesterday, Tom's River area. Nothing that pretty over there, including 3 miles of the NJ turnpike, in one hour!

Used to live in Hopelawn/Perth Amboy, Raritan is familiar, how about those new bridges they erected in '00-'03? Rt 9 and the GSP. I recall about 10-11 years ago, was in the Brunswick's somewhere, there was a 3rd gen. family farm that the town or municipality condemned and or eminent domain, to seize it for their needs of a park or something, the article in the newspaper was alarming to say the least, farms are rare in these areas, I worked a lot of old farm ground in NJ as a heavy equipment operator, site work, large earthmoving jobs all for development, thinking back to what we did, is shameful, NJ is/was nothing like it has been portrayed, some absolutely beautiful farm land existed there.

Nice pictures and hello from Basking Ridge (borders both Martinsville and Warren). My 1966 International 140 is getting a workout in this snow. There are still some beautiful farms in this area. It's no accident the only CaseIH dealer in NJ is in Branchburg, just a few miles from that bridge.

When I was a kid, I was surrounded by a 400 acre dairy farm owned by a crazy old spinster heiress (her father started PG&E) who loved tractors--she had three huge Minneapolis Molines. Now it's all McMansions on her place. The place my parents built in 1937 makes me the odd one out.
