Lots of people waiting to take care of their banking needs on a busy Saturday morning at Mt. Hope. Lined up outside the drive-up window, and at the front door.
The Bridal Party is waiting for the right moment to cross the road for the wedding. Meanwhile a Grandpa comes to chat with them. I had dropped off some taxi customers at the wedding site, and stopped on the road to capture this unique shot.
When schools are on main highways, children use these ladders to walk from field to field to get safely to their schools.
The baby just woke up and wasn’t sure about this photographer!
But things soon changed!
Moved him to the floor and away from the window, but he was looking at the other distractions, and not the photographer! 🙂
Long evening of volleyball!
There will be celebrations this weekend, though toned down because of Covid19 concerns. Who knows, maybe some people will be eating strawberry pie! Enjoy the holiday, in whatever way you choose to celebrate.
As I was waiting for my taxi customers, a nice Amish lady wondered if I wanted some strawberries. We always love strawberries, so I said sure. How sweet of her to share with us. She had been out picking them in the rain, and still had more to pick. My wife then made strawberry jam, which goes well with her homemade bread, fresh out of the oven.
A lovely home for the grandparents. Either the son or son-in-law is returning from mowing hay with the team of horses!
Bargains galore!
Loading up and ready for the next location!
With a taxi customer, we stopped to see this unique piece of equipment. We knew he was going to start mowing at 7 am. This talented Amish farmer built this horse-powered hay cutter that cuts a 24 foot swath!
This wedding was originally scheduled for April, but changed so they could have more guests.
Note the tables and lights for the reception in the barn, as well as the tent, to help with social distancing. The wedding is actually 1/2 mile up the road!
The scene I had after dropping off my taxi customers at the wedding. More guests: Arriving by buggy, bike and vehicle!
