The six-year-old son of Amish friends just started attending school a little over a month ago.

When I last saw them I remarked that this would probably be the last time that he and I wouldn’t be able…

This machine was made by Pioneer Equipment of Dalton, Ohio, a well-known manufacturer of horse-drawn equipment in the Holmes…
Pete Bannan from the Daily Local News recently visited the scene of an Amish wedding in Chester County, Pennsylvania. This is the county which neighbors Lancaster County to the east, and where a sizeable portion of that community’s members live. While it doesn’t look like he got a lot of information about the event, he got some photos of the occasion, showing the attendees gathering,…

Lots of nice Lancaster pix at her page.
Neat photo! Looks like the horse was a little wary of the grating at the foot of that bridge.
Love the picture! Brought back memories of Daddy leading the horse over grate bridges when I was a little girl.
