A pictorial today - of some of the things we see while on our soap deliveries through Amish country in Lancaster County.
We were waiting at a customer's roadside stand while two huge bus loads of people (one of them from Germany) enjoyed their visit and left. While we waited we saw some of the sights through a tourist's eye.
Fist, down the road came the clop clop of a horse-drawn buggy.

So picturesque as they drove along in front of the corn drying in the fields before it is cut to fill the silos in the background.
After it passed, I looked and noticed it was a "pick-up buggy."

There was a big old express wagon in the back. Sometimes they are connected to the back of buggies and used as trailers.
I turned to the garden of our customer and noticed as always it is neat as a pin - and now cleared and waiting for spring planting.

And as I turned to the left, I noticed the row of various types of martin houses - or apartments - natural mosquito deterrents since mosquitoes are a favorite food of the birds.

Such a beautiful county we live in.... full of wonders we often times overlook.
