An Amish Countryside


We now live in a community that is rich with Amish settlers.  It is common place to see a horse and black buggy running down the highway.  We are usually on the bike when we encounter our motorless neighbors. 

I just love the farmsteads of the Amish.  They are so neat and well maintained.  I just had to take a picture of a few of them . . .













We were fortunate to watch one Amish gentleman work his fields.  It totally amazes me that they are able to farm the land with  one-row or two-row machinery. 


We also rode by the Amish school house.


So far, I have not found any Yoder's in this community.  I continue to ask any of the Amish I come into contact with.  I think it would be so cool to run into a Yoder that I would actually be related to.

Do you think we'd even know if we were related (even somewhat closely?)
