The Amish community.

A visit to Amish Country

 Located north of Ashland,Montana is a community of Amish people.  It is like going back in time.
We did buy several grocery items from their little store.  There are some homemade baked goods, and preserves, but most of the items are what appears to be damaged packaging or seconds.  The prices were good, and we don't mind a few wrinkles in the packaging.

We were intrigued with the buggies and horse pulled equipment in the Amish yard.  We saw several one horse, Shetland pony size, and buggies being driven by children with even younger children as passengers going up and down the roadways.  Seeing a group of about 5 boys near a building, I got out of the car with camera in hand and asked if I could take a picture.  They declined.  I'm sure they have been properly instructed.  They were dressed so cute like something out of "Little House of the Prairie" TV show.

 On a return visit to the Amish, as I waited in the car a young boy came riding up fast on this pony, dismounted checked something under a pile of wood then got back on and took off.  I was sneaky and got a quick picture of him.



It was interesting to see the white laundry drying on the clothesline behind this house.

Somewhere behind this barn, I could hear children's laughter.  I think there simple life leads to many happy moments.
