My birthday Celebration was a trip to Lancaster, PA. Above is the Central Market where you can find fresh cut grass feed beef, fresh vegatables, crafts, quilts, aisles full of yummy treats and good to eats...and I got some homemade FUDGE....mmmmmmm.
Another photo of the Central Market.
Believe it or not, these are flowers carved out of wood! Beautiful !
Who doesn't want to shop at a Target that has it's own Horse and Buggy parking spaces??
The entrance to the Amish Farm and House. We toured an Amish home and walked around the farm. We saw cute goats, pigs and old tools and buggies.
AND...we watched this fella whittle/carve small roosters and items from branches. We watched while he carved about 5 curly tail feathers onto a small rooster. Then he took the toothpick sliver of wood left over and made a cute little flower that he gave us. It was absoulutely incredible to see the work he does!
....... a close-up of him carving the tail feathers.
We drove down the road to Bird-in-Hand and took a buggy ride ..This is Magic our horse!
Our driver, Reuben was quite the storyteller and made the ride so enjoyable! We drove down the busy street, clip clopping along slowly. We drove through some beautiful Amish farmlands and our driver told us about farming and life in the Amish community.
Looking across a field of soybeans at a farm with many silos. Notice the clothes line that is on a pulley cable allowing a looooong line of clothes to flutter in the breeze.
A quiet pond we drove past.
Driving under an old railroad bridge toward the end of our ride.
We ended our day with a fantastic meal at a Sonic Drive-in. (Haven't seen one of these since leaving Vegas! ...... mmmmm yummy!) I have a GREAT birthday celebration!!
And I was able to check-off another thing from my "Bucket List" ride in an Amish Buggy! FUN!
