Amish country
May. 28th, 2022 11:22 pmPennsylvania is a pretty state. The western part is all forested and mountainous, and the eastern part is farmland. The farms are all so neatly kept. The Amish have something to do with that, but they couldn't all have been Amish.
Each state has its characteristic style of barn, and this was Pennsylvania's. Stone ends and wooden sides painted red. The ends usually had vents or small windows. They didn't usually have this artwork, though.
Cindy and I were at the oldest cemetery, when I heard something coming in a nearby field. It was a hay baler, pulled by a six-horse team.
It took me a minute to process this. It was horses, but it was noisy, since the baler was running on an engine. I absentmindedly thought it was self powered, while I was trying to get a good shot. But first, this is Amish, and they don't generally run engines. Second, balers are not self-powered, they run off a PTO from the tractor.
