Posted on December 12th, 2011 in Amish Culture
Despite what the ads might imply, the miracle heater is not how Amish keep their homes and buildings warm. Here’s a shot of a stove in an Amish fabric shop. With winter around the corner, these will be getting a lot of use. One thing I always enjoy when staying with Amish friends in the [...]
