Pat and I took a trip to the area around Shipshewana, Indiana (population 658 in 2010) this week. It was raining as we approached our destination, but that didn’t discourage this driver (or us) a bit.
The sun came out just as we reached our destination. After a quick coffee break, we decided to take the roads that had evidence of buggy travel . . . usually horse apples. We knew these roads would lead us to Amish farms. We saw beautifully kept horses used both for travel and work.
We also had a visit from a little bird that Pat wrote about in her blog (http://imissmetoo.me/).
We also saw many milk cows.
Love, love, love. Great shots.
Thanks Bev. It was a fun outing.
It is a lifestyle I think we are now all trying to co-opt to some degree….The camel also caught my eye, a great story for another day.
I think you are right, especially as we get older. It is then that the simple life somehow becomes more important.
