WOW!!!
Lovely pictures.I think you should come to my area to do some resaerch.The clothes on the line are very common here ,the buggies are a little different but the neat and tidy farms are much the same.Right now I am waiting for the grain to ripen so I can watch them harvest–All done by hand with the aid of horses.To go by the fields of 'stooked'grain reminds me of my childhood.Being Brethren In Christ the farmers in our Church did much of their farm work like our Amish cousins.Things have changed a lot since then and we are much more modern and use some pretty fancy machinery.Enough of my ramblings of 'the old days'.God Bless.
