Touring the Amish Country - Thursday - September 18, 2012

Bill and I were born and raised just outside of Philadelphia, Pa.  We only were a couple hours from the Amish Country near Lancaster, but never really had visited the area.  So today, we wandered around the back roads taking in all the wonderful sites.  It was a beautiful day and the views looked like Norman Rockwell paintings!! 
 
We'll just let the pictures tell the story!!

  7. Did you notice the Amish buggy GPS feature?

    They just follow all the horse poop on the sides of the road to get to their destinations... ;c)

  8. Those folks sure work hard, I know that for a fact but your pictures give such a relaxing feel. Hadd to laugh at the laundry on the line, you could take that in the farm's backyard. :-))

  11. We used to make an annual pilgrimage to the Amish country every spring..was a long drive from the island, but we loved it...couldn't beat the food, antiques, shopping...and the guys played golf :-). Nancy's Corner was also an annual stop, as was Kitchen Kettle for jellies jams and pickles...oh, I can't wait to stop there on my way north in the spring!!

  13. We love Amish country...Shipshewanna, IN where we are now has much of the same scenes. The food is wonderful, so many beautiful farms. Never get tired of seeing how simply they live and how "green" their lives are. And the quilts--works of art. We loved Pennsylvania and can't wait to go back and visit again.
