Sorry if you subscribe to the is blog and are getting this post repeatedly, I rushed through and keep finding typos...oopsie! =)
We were driving around to a couple of garage sales yesterday. I was once again struck by the beauty of our everyday surroundings. I was born and raised in Long Island, NY and have lived here for six years.
Although the transition was a rough one for me. I am forever grateful to God for bringing us here, it has been good, really, really, good for us.
I never want to take any of it for granted, but I'm quite sure,
I never want to take any of it for granted, but I'm quite sure, in my humanness I do.
These covered bridges are all over the county. They are hundreds of years old and were built to last. That kind of craftmanship seems so rare in our times.
I still get a chuckle every time one of these guys park next to me.
We are surrounded by Amish folk everywhere we go. I know they are not perfect, but they remind me to live consciously and simply. I don't always get that right either, I am a work in progress...
Small hospitable gestures abound...
All this within a five mile radius of our home...
Oh the possibilities...

The price scares me on that last picture. I just heard about a 1 acre place in Lancaster County selling for over $500,000.00! Ouch!
We love it there too. Two of our children live there. We are in Wyoming, but I love coming to visit.

That's about the price of this farmette.
Hi Amy, I have really been enjoying your blog!....The area you live in reminds me of our last home that we moved from a couple years ago! We lived in Newark Valley, NY. It was a very small village outside of Owego, near the southern border. I miss it so very much!!!....also your pillows are just lovely!....Enjoy the weekend!....Heidi :)
Thanks so much, Amy!
This was a really nice and interesting post. When I was living in the Midwest back in the early 90's, I visited an Amish village several times. I remember it being very educational and highly thought-provoking, and on a more mundane level I just fell head over heels in love with the apple butter they were selling... Learned a lot.
