Nolt's Pond, New Holland, Pennsylvania

Pitchforks in the barn
Pictures from Lancaster County
Wendy asked me to take some pictures from around my home area of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Things that are unique to this area - or things that are not readily seen in Red Lake. Here is my first one. What do you think, Wendy?

Grandma's Apron
I have a lot to contemplate as I think of the rich heritage I have when it comes to food and learning about cooking and baking according to Pennsylvania Dutch/German tradition.
I will have to post some of Grandma Sadie's recipes when I get a chance. For now, I'm just thinking, and thankful.

First Day of Summer Vacation in Lancaster County!
Monday morning and the kids are all home. Right now I am listening to them jabber back and forth, a little frustrating voices, yelling now and then - one is playing the recorder(fluteaphone) - Hot Crossed Buns - we were already outside, took care of the chickens and hoed in the garden - laundry is on the line and more is coming.....
Somewhere we will find the balance between work and play - and I pray this will be a summer to remember! I love having the kids home from school - even though we have our moments!

Bounty!
Now, I need to experiment cooking with sage and rosemary! I also saw I have some cilantro growing from last year! Yeah! Do you all cook with these herbs? I am curious for ideas!

Lancaster County Greetings!
For those of you who are lucky to live near Wendy, consider yourself very blessed! I miss her, alot! We have resorted to telephone calls to keep in touch - and sometimes they happen every day, twice and day, and sometimes, it goes weeks before we talk. Today was a twice a day, day. We have lots of recipes we want to share with each other - things we try on our own and want to share with the other.
We might as well post them here so others can benefit, eh? (That is something I learned off of my Canadian relatives =) I've learned a lot about the North since my sister moved there. We have visited several times - hmmm I would guess at least 4 times - in the past 10 years. Our visits are getting fewer and farther between as our children become more and more active and we vacation in different places.... =(
I have asked myself many times why God would have led Wendy to such a far away place. You know, she could have moved even 8 hours away and I would have a better chance of seeing her regularly. But the trip to Red Lake, Ontario, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, takes us two monstrous 15 hour days of driving! That is not a trip you take on the spur of the moment... sigh. I wish. But alas, we are where we are, we might as well make the most of it!
So we have chosen to share some of it with you all. Welcome to my little corner of the world, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, home of the Horse and Buggies, rolling farm land, Amish and various Mennonite groups, and lots of people, just like you - I know Wendy misses the farming community, so I will probably post lots of pictures of what I have of my area I live in. Be blessed!
