Blue is the color of choice for clothing in New Wilmington. Men and women in the community wear various shades of it. Looks like wash day.

Martin houses are popular on Amish front lawns across the country. Martins are birds related to swallows. Due to their hearty appetites for insects, they are welcome guests at Amish homes.

Thanks to Rick for sharing.
