Thanks Adair for the nice photos. Read more on the Ethridge TN Amish.

Great Photos
Oh these are very good! Thanks for sharing. Especially like the one with the little boy and his father (?)on the work wagon. So cute, and the little boy is learning a farming chore. I also enjoy learning about the different districts and seeing photos!

Great pictures. Just makes me wish I was there. I am from Ontario and we are getting more and more Mennonites moved to this area. Which is great. Keep those pictures coming.
I always enjoy the photos you send. I think that little guy’s boots were bigger than him:) I’ll be in Lancaster this week too, Erik. Who knows, maybe we’ll cross paths:)
Love the pictures especially the one with the little boy on the wagon.
Shadow
I was especially taken with the shadow of the windmill on the barn—like a ghost (I’d like to paint it on to keep it there permanently…don’t know why).
Thanks for the photos, Adair! I enjoyed each one.
Alice Mary
Thank you, Alice MAry. I like that shadow one, too, although I didn;t know if anyone else would.
Peace In the Valley
This takes me back to my childhood in the farming area of New York State. I miss it, and all it contained. It is not far from Lancaster County,in PA. where I was born.
Plain attire Ethridge Amish style
The men in these pictures don’t look very hard to emulate in terms of plainness, in fact their clothing looks quite off the rack, except for the straw hats. I don’t know about anyone else, but I can dress like them quite easily, including my straw hat.
In a way, it would be great if they were the standard, but it’s obvious its not always the case, eh?
Ethridge Photos
I really enjoy looking at photos of the Amish homesteads, barns, farms, and horses and buggies. The photos are beautiful. I almost feel like I am right there…present in the picture. I especially love the photo of the red barn and the dad and little boy driving the horse-cart. Thanks for sharing these great photos. It is nice seeing photos of different Amish communities.
Blessings. I hope you are enjoying your stay in PA. It is one of my favorite places:-)

I love these photos, these are so beautiful and so filled with real life, not the life of what most people live today. But the living and breathing life of really working hard and seeing what you worked hard for.
I love pictures of their homes, their barns and their life, Thanks for sharing!
