Watering Trough

A neighbor's farm ....see the farm photo above. When I was growing up, you could not see this house from the road, because a huge white Dairy Barn sat in front right along the road. It belonged to the same family for two generations, then it was sold. The new owners took the barn down. When it was a working farm, the cows would be taken across the road from their pasture, twice a day for milking. Traffic would have to stop, to let the cows cross. The barn sat right on a curve in the road. The road by it, next to the pond was given the name Baker's Watering Trough Road, when they named the roads. When I was growing up, none of our roads had official names, let alone any signs with the names...now every road around my parents farm have names to them!
