New Wilmington Wash Day
Monday is wash day in this settlement, and it’s just about all blue, or shades thereof. Photos from late September of ’07.

The Amish and drugs–it’s another one of those things that grab our attention because it seems so out-of-place. Recall the media reaction to two young Amish men busted for dealing coke among Lancaster Amish “gangs” (ie, youth groups) in 1998. But following up yesterday’s post, it’s worth remembering that ‘heavy’, as the Lagrange meth problem was described, may be relative. Meth has clearly been a…
I took this photo of a farm in Lancaster County a couple days ago. At first glance, it seems like a normal farm–you’ve got a barn, silo, picket fence…but something seems a bit off here. Hmm. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Your ideas (or captions) on what’s going on in this photo are welcome. In other news, we got in a Life…
Amish in Illinois have made news by moving the oldest-known Amish home in the state, using the power of eight mighty Belgian horses. Belgians are a common breed used by Amish for farm work. This past Tuesday morning they found themselves with the uncommon task of transporting a 150-year-old farm home–though it turns out they only did a small part of the job: A team…
I came across a police report about an Amish man being harassed in the community of Sherman, Maine. The Amish are targets of harassment in some places. In some cases the harassment goes well beyond what we might think of as a simple prank. The topic has been the subject of an academic paper, as well as several posts here on serious incidents – cases…
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…
78-year-old Carl Cisney is an Amish taxi driving veteran. He’s been providing rides for Amish for over 4 decades – since the time in 1975 he was asked by an Amish neighbor for a ride to a weld shop. Carl has formed deep friendships through his taxi services, even getting invited as the only English guest (along with his wife) to Amish weddings. The work…

Nothing better than clothes dried on the line!
I love seeing pictures like this. There is a calmness in it. 🙂
I agree with Michelle…line dried clothes are wonderful…and saves money 🙂

When I go riding or driving past a place that has wash out on the line, I take a look to see if it’s an Amish place. Often it is. It has been wash on the line that has called my attention to the existence of some Amish farmsteads that otherwise don’t look overtly Amish.
Dawn, welcome and glad you have been secretly reading (:
I think drying outside must be better. In Poland many people hang clothes inside apartments in the winter—very cramped, and they lack the straight from the dryer softness.
It’s nice to see photos with sunshine and flowers blooming. 🙂
I was in the Smicksburg area last week. It was between 20 and 25 degrees with snow flurries but I saw laundry hanging out. You’d think the clothes would freeze on the line?
You would think so! Could be that space-age polymer freeze-resistant fabric that all the Amish are using nowadays. Just kidding of course. But I thought the basement was the winter drying area of choice.
Le meilleur linge est celui qui sèche à l’air libre. Pas besoin de séchoir électrique, nous avons le soleil et le vent gratuitement à notre disposition !
The best for the clothes it’s driying outside.
