Lancaster, Pennsylvania - Amish Country

O.K., so it's not a very good picture of the horse and buggy, but you get the idea!
We took a drive through the beautiful countryside around Lancaster, where most of the Amish  communities are located.  Other than dairy farms, they produce beautifully crafted furniture, playground structures, quilts, food, pastries, jams, etc... anything and everything for a wonderful farmers market.  
The landscape here is different, too.  We have mostly seen lines of tree on either side of the highway, and here we see open valleys and fields of corn, hay, and soy beans.  It is really nice to see vast tracts of farmland again.  It reminds us 
of home.  The leaves are still amazing, and there are still lots of flowers to be seen, both along the roadway and in gardens.
