Another Trip to the Country


 I needed eggs so we went back to Amish country.

 It's actually Amish/Mennonite country.








Click to enlarge.  The laundry poles are crosses.

The farms are very busy this time of year.


 The animals are happily grazing after a long winter in the barn.

 I love seeing the fields coming to life after months of sleeping under their brown blankets.

When you think about it, growing season is pretty short from planting to harvest.



 In not too long, these flowers will be replaced with pumpkins and gourds.


 For now, I am still processing strawberries.  I might be done for this year, it's becoming tedious.

Look at the size of these eggs.  Each one is a double yolk.  A dozen double yolk eggs for 3.50.  It's worth the drive.

Totally worth the drive! I can't wait to try a farm-fresh egg one of these days!

I did think today about how short the growing season actually is. Soon it is midsummer and it all turns again.

Those are some really big eggs!

Have a great day!
