I'm impressed by the fact that in all your photos of the Amish everything looks so neat and in good condition. <br /><br />You know what's admirable? As I can see from your photos, the Amish don't live entirely separately but participate in everyday's life of the town, it means they are not afraid of being seduced by its temptations, right? Have you ever spoken with any of them? Do they freely communicate with people who aren't members of the Amish community?<br /><br />The hay wagon with the chairs looks funny but I see, no bus needed... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-73894036693387033332012-09-07T22:55:39.829-04:002012-09-07T22:55:39.829-04:00Thanks again Linda for sharing your fantastic phot...Thanks again Linda for sharing your fantastic photos!

Their lifestyle is so fascinating and these pictures really tell the story.

Many,like myself live and dress no different than others around us,but some stick out like a sore thumb.It is interesting to see how the Amish live,but I would not want all those restrictions.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-8709447873143525452012-09-07T09:49:28.099-04:002012-09-07T09:49:28.099-04:00i do appreciate that they preserve their culture, ...i do appreciate that they preserve their culture, even if adding a few modern conveniences along the way.TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-85191979845864814272012-09-07T00:23:40.580-04:002012-09-07T00:23:40.580-04:00Thanks for providing a window into a unique world....Thanks for providing a window into a unique world.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-11121940856468346842012-09-07T00:14:55.000-04:002012-09-07T00:14:55.000-04:00How interesting...

I think WE could learn from them... <br /><br />We don't have many Amish around here. WE do have Mennonites though --but they are not nearly as strict in their beliefs as the Amish.<br /><br />I didn't know that about the beards... <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. I assume there are alot of Amish near you..<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
