Plowing with three workhorses, a familiar scene in Holmes County, Ohio in the Spring time!

Finished work up close! I just noticed the robin in the foreground, obviously looking for an earthworm or two!

This Amish farmer, near Becks Mills, Ohio decided it’s time for Spring fieldwork, so he hitched up his horses and went to work.


This helper is helping the auctioneer take bids at the auction.

We enjoyed listening to the Soul’d Out Southern Gospel group singing this weekend.
This corner has rocking chairs etc. There is a sign hanging there which says, “Do Nothing Club.” Usually it is filled with men waiting while their wives are shopping. This day it was filled with women who came here to eat their lunch, because they were all in town for 100+ garage sales! As a taxi driver I was driving 4 women around to garage sales all morning.


As I neared this field where the farmer was spreading manure, he had just finished and was heading out of the field to his home. As a last resort I took a photo of him chatting with a neighbor, using my driver’s side rear-view mirror!

As the market prepares for another day it is hit with bright sunlight which we hadn’t seen for several days!
