We are now up in Amish country in PA. This is not an uncommon scene year round. Love the colorful flapping against the beautiful blue sky ...
The barns are so lovely, but too many are being lost to new structures ...
Love the gentle rolling countryside ...
Wonder often passing by, what animals lived in these barns ...
How many weddings, baptisms, funerals, country Sunday meals took place in these beauties ...
I can see the ladies & children finishing up the canning of summer gardens to carry them thru winter, the aromas filtering thru the home ...
So sad someone has left this fabulous structure to ruins ...
The vines climbing over the walls ...
Farms in PA are so meticulously groomed & kept ... peaceful settings.
So remember those clotheslines from my childhood, wires strung from house to garage ...
The dust from the crops being plowed
under ...
Preparing the soil for winter ...
The girls having some 'chill time' ...
The Susquehanna River flows gently to the rapids ...
Before spilling over the dam ...
Just a kiss of color ...
here & there.
We take these country roads yearly but this year because of my pending eye surgery we traveled a wee bit early, as I didn't want to miss the beauty of God preparing His exquisite land for the winter.
I'll be with you as my eyes permit ...
