We're Home... A Great Vacation

Hello to all my blogger friends.  It seems like forever since I have chatted with you all.  We had a wonderful trip and I want to say a big thank you to each of you who suggested a place for us to visit when we were in Ohio.  I have tons of pictures and so much to share with you.  Won't bore you all in one post but this morning as I sit in front of the computer with my coffee cup close to my side, the t.v. is blaring all the news of the morning, and as with most mornings not so much of it is good, my mind wanders back to the quiet peaceful mornings from our trip.  Amish country is absolutely beautiful.  So peaceful.  I admire these folks so much.  Such a hard working people, but so much at peace.  No electricity, no phones, computers, t.v.s, these people live one day at a time.  Could I live this way,,, No, but I think we would all be better off if we could adapt to a few of their ways.  Okay.. today thought I would take you along on a ride thru the countryside with me. When we entered Ohio, we did so in terrible rain, and it rained at some point everyday we were there but one.  Didn't bother us as everything was so green and beautiful.  Mr. P, kept commenting on how beautiful all the flowers and plants were.  Not scorched like at home where we got little rain this summer.  The sky on the way back to the hotel one evening was so pretty, but as you can see, rain was sure to follow. 

Once the sun broke thru the sky, every home had laundry on the lines.  Love how they hang it so high.  From house to barn on cable.   Yep, still working on a clothesline from Mr. P.  It is such a necessity for these ladies.

Passing by this farm we saw all these buggies and there were folks coming for a mile up the rode to gather at this home.  It was in the middle of a week day so we assumed maybe there was a death.  They were all dressed in their Sunday attire.

This family was just down the road from the gathering.  That little boy was so cute.

I love the simplicity of the school buildings. 

Everywhere you looked were fields and fields of corn.   We just don't see farms and farmland in our area.  We so enjoyed stopping at the open markets and seeing all the pumpkins, corn, and other veggies grown on the farms.  

Okay,,, I won't  bore you with anymore pictures today.  Hope you have enjoyed coming along as I shared some of the sights from our trip.  Next time  I will show some of the places we visited.  I must get busy now.  Want to get some fall items out and will show a few of the items I purchased down the road in a post later on.  Hoping all you ladies are having a great week and are enjoying life.  Take care and will talk soon.
