Abandoned buggy
Across America, the cold and snow continues.
An interesting shot from irishlady, of an Amish buggy, precise location unknown, that looks like it ran into a bit of trouble in the recent spell of harsh weather. Stay warm everyone!

‘A hog farmer and a teacher!!’ Hog farms are few and far between in Lancaster dairyland, and hog farmers who deal with Amish ‘ninth-graders’ on a regular basis even fewer. Perhaps that’s why ‘Ephraim’ nearly shouted at me in glee when describing his odd occupational mix. He’s been handling vocational school duties for his area for twenty years now. You can tell he enjoys it….
In The Riddle of Amish Culture, Donald Kraybill explains Amish ‘gangs’ in Lancaster county: By the age of ten, an Amish child will be able to name some of the groups—Bluebirds, Canaries, Pine Cones, Drifters, Shotguns, Rockys, and Quakers—and even describe some of their activities. Youth are free to join the gang of their choice…Parents worry about which groups their teens will join because they…
This is a third Amish singing clip recorded by Phil Sarlo, following three Amish teens singing “The Whippoorwill Song” and Amish schoolchildren singing “The Ninety-Nine”. We have a much larger collection of singers this time – a New Order Amish youth group in the Walnut Creek area of Ohio. There are four songs in this clip, with some really beautiful harmonizing. These are the songs:…
Here’s a short video of an Amish person skiing while being pulled by a buggy along the roadside. This comes from the Lowville community in upstate New York, home to two Amish churches. Looks like some young guys out enjoying the snow. A Lowville resident shot the video last week (mute your sound if you don’t want the background music). This isn’t the first time…
It’s Friday, so how about something light. So, here are a couple of guys who took an Amish buggy and strapped a jet engine onto the back of it. Why not. The two men behind the rocket buggy live somewhere in Amish country and are apparently racing enthusiasts. One of the two bought a jet engine online by mistake (he thought it was “turbo shaft”,…
One thing that I admire about the Amish is the value they place in maintaining a spirit of humility. When the idea comes up in conversation that the Amish are getting something right—for example, by the way that they live or the values they profess and adhere to–they are usually quick to deflect attention, reminding that ‘human nature is universal’, or that ‘we’re human too.’ …

I would guess the rounded sides at the bottom of the buggy would make the general location Dover,Delaware as seen in this blog entry. https://amishamerica.com/2009/09/dover-delaware-amish.html
And that’s in western NY, not upstate NY.
Too much time on my hands. 🙂
Hey Bill, thanks for checking into that. Keep this up and we’re going to have to get you some office space at Amish America Inc!
After clicking on the “irishlady” link and doing a little research I found this buggy was abandoned in upstate New York.
Halfway down the page on this website

Erik, would that mean having to relocate to Poland? 😉
No no worries, we’ll definitely be able to outsource! I wouldn’t want to inflict a Polish winter on anyone!
