Middleford Ohio Amish country

This is very normal in Middleford Ohio. The Amish hang out there laundry



They pack their vehicles.They plant gardens.
They "Whoa" when they need to stop! They work together.




They take walks .I really didn't know much about the Amish. What we saw and I do know is that these are kind people that embrace a simple life. The girls have their hair in perfect braids and their dresses are neatly pressed . The have great smiles . We saw a big family cookout with the kids playing volleyball and the adults enjoying each others company all in the heat of the day with all the long dresses and hats. I couldn't take so many pictures because even though they didn't t seem to mind I felt I was invading their privacy. What a calming effect this had on me. We saw another family with a father , mother and baby about the ages of my boys. The father handling the horse with the mother siting next to him holding her baby. Very Sweet.
This is where they park their horses while they shop.


Natalie & I were shopping in a country store. She wanted a Amish dress but...... she learned you don't buy them. If she wants one she will have to make it!A Good Day!!
