Today's Harvest

It is slowly beginning to become harvest time.
I am drying some lavender and aome chamomile to make my own tea.

This is what I have gathered for peas and beans so far

Visit to Lancaster County

For my birthday this year we took a 2 night trip to Lancaster, PA. That has been on my trip bucket list for quite some time and I am so thankful my family chipped in to send me there.
It is an absolutely beautiful area. For a very busy city it was very clean.
The amish in PA differ from the ones here in Maine. The married men in PA are very stoic and have an air of protectiveness. Almost all of the Amish look away from you when driving past them even though they may wave.
Their farms are beautiful. One of my favorite aspects of the Amish farming is some of them farm barefoot!!
Here are a few pics I took while on a bus tour.
