Harvest Time in Amish Country Ohio

harvest time


Harvest time in Amish Country Ohio will bring you back in time!
The cornstalks are arranged in sentry form in front of this lovely
farmhouse around Kidron, Ohio. You will see many families out
working in the fields, preparing the land for the long winter. They
have such a simple life, their sense of family is so great because
they don't have computers and networking the way we do....they
actually go to the Kidron Livestock Auction on Thursdays to
catch up with friends from other farms. They sell their harvest
there and the people who come from near and far go home with
some of the best vegetables and fruit from their farms! Go visit
Amish Country Ohio to get back in time!

Soon on Long Lake I will be hearing the bang, bang, bang of shot guns taking out some of the very large population of ducks and geese in the Portage Lakes, Ohio area. There are areas around Portage Lakes, Ohio that we have trouble driving because the water fowl cross the streets very leisurely. We respect the buggers and slow down or stop. We also have a problem with the "stuff" they leave behind on our lawns and in our parks!
