Erik Wesner of Amish America pointed me to this beautiful photo. (He says it should be credited to golancasterpa.) Leave a comment with a caption for this photo and I’ll choose four winners to receive Amy Clipston’s “A Plain and Simple Christmas.” If you missed Amy’s “Amish Wisdom” interview last week, it’s available here as a podcast and here on iTunes. (contest closed 12/23/10.)
Trudy Yoder shares a passion for birding with Micah Weaver--and she has an even greater passion for Micah. Their friendship is finally turning romantic when Micah abruptly grows cold. Worse still, he wants to leave Stoney Ridge.
