The horse and buggy is the obvious transportation icon of the Amish but the scooter must be the runner up. Though not all Amish use them they are the classic horseless vehicle among the Amish in Lancaster County (where bikes are not really seen) and a number of other communities. Scooters were big a few years back when a scootering craze seemed to hit English…
Rick shares some summertime photos from the sizeable Amish settlement at New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. Harvest time at New Wilmington is a low-tech affair. 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…
Autumn used to be my favorite season. Â I once pitied the people who lived in areas of the country which don’t really have a legitimate autumn. Â Since moving to a place with severe winters, I’ve lost a little enthusiasm for the fall (knowing what’s right around the corner–four months of frigid air, ice and darkness–prevents you from enjoying it as much). Â Still, on its own…
It’s fun to visit a new Amish community when you have someone waiting there to greet you. Last Monday I had a chance to drop in on Mark Curtis, son of frequent commenter Don Curtis. If you recall from last year’s account, Mark joined the Amish after living much of his adult life on the other side of the fence, at the age of 50….
With Amish found in over 500 locations across North America, you have a decent chance of stumbling across a community while on the road (assuming you stay off the interstate). Don Burke had this happen on a recent road trip when he came upon an unexpected settlement in northeastern Ohio. He shares his passing visit to the Andover settlement, along with some photos in today’s…
A few quick photos from the Amish settlement in Charlotte County, Virginia.  This is a small community of just one church district.  Amish here drive Lancaster County grey buggies. Have been having a great visit (am currently in Lancaster County, and visiting PA Dutch markets around Philadelphia today), though internet is pretty scarce! A Virginia Amish buggy sign. No word if “Rudolph” is a popular name for…

Oh, these are beautiful, Erik!! It reminds me of all the times we used to go there when I was a little girl. I loved every minute then, and I still love every minute now.
Thanks for the pics.
Just looking at it makes me feel peaceful! We visit Lancaster about once a month and love it. We have never been to this area though, so maybe we will have to check it out. Thanks for posting the beautiful pictures!
Oh, how I love Lancaster in the morning……..
Glad you all enjoyed them. I didn’t quite get a chance to take as many as I’d like this time. It’s a great time of year to be in Lancaster, for sure. I have been hearing plenty of stories of the head-high snow drifts of a couple months ago though.
Are those the mysterious Welsh Mountains in the distance?
Kate, you’re right in the ballpark!
I just love the one with the pond. It’s breathtaking.
