Pennsylvania Dutch Country...


A week in Pennsylvania Dutch country, enjoying the beautiful countryside, the farms, and the slower way of life lived by the Amish. 

A juxtaposition of life in the fast lane and life in the slow lane.  The Amish who travel by horse and buggy.  Who plow their fields with machinery pulled by a team of horses.


And a group of cows who know that when the heat is as extreme as it was this week, the only thing to do is find a comfortable spot and just "be".

  3. I wouldn't mind a horse and cart life for a while, hearing horses hooves clopping along our lane as they would have done in the past would be a welcome respite from constant traffic. I think it is true that travel broadens the mind. It is good for us in so many ways, we can live such little lives and it reminds us that there are so many ways of living on this planet of ours.

  7. Oh my gosh... you're in my backyard. It's beautiful isn't it? That's why L.A., NYC, none of them could keep me ~ it's was the enchanting rolling hills of PA that captured my heart. That... and all those trees.
