Lost Amongst the Amish...Lucky me....



We took our first trip in 19 years back to my hubby's hometown...
Butler, Pa....
Every time I have gone there, I am amazed at how beautiful it is...
Just down the road a bit is Sadie's farm...she lives alone and runs her little shop, farms her little farm and even makes pies and cookies to share with anyone who wants to stop by....
Here is her adorable goat, he likes to wrap himself tightly around the pole of this sign and rest his head on the pole. People keep stopping out of concern for him, but when he is done with his nap, he unwraps himself again....

He is a rascally guy, he can get thru tight spaces and wander off, even with those curvy long horns....

Sadie is Amish...she is going to live in a new little house on her son's property in the Spring...my in-laws will miss her!

We took a day trip to Volant...known for the Amish...we got a little lost...Lucky us!









This is the view out our families' home....so beautiful!


























This is their garage cat...(they don't have a barn)



















And this is the beauty that we saw just driving down the road....


Thanks for sticking with me...it was a wonderful trip...we even did some junkin' and had funny experiences, lets just say ghosts, parking police, twilight zone experiences...I guess you can say it was a well rounded trip!  hugs! karen....

There are Amish in Kentucky where we spend our summers. I enjoy seeing them out and about, and also when we go by one of their farms. I've bought hand woven baskets from them that I treasure.
