To Bee or not to Bee

We were out in the country this weekend and I as usual took a ton of pictures. You always hope to get that perfect picture. I don't know that I have ever gotten that one perfect picture but I have gotten some that I really like. So here are a few of the ones I took this weekend

This is a big yellow jacket on a beautiful flower.

This next one is a picture of baskets of fresh tomatoes that we got.

Finally this last picture makes me think how close to fall we actually are. This field was full of gigantic pumpkins. I would hate to be the person that had to harvest them.

One room school

Here is another picture of an Amish one room school in Lancaster County. I am really amazed that they still have the one room school. I am sure that they give their children a good education. In our schools we believe that every classroom must have a very small number of students and if there are not computers in every classroom the parents are furious. I am sure that they do not have the discipline problems in their schools that we have in our public schools.

Saturday in the country

Well today was Saturday so we decided to take a drive out to the Amish area of Lancaster County. It is something that we loved doing when we lived up here before. But, today it got so hot we just about died of heat. We did have a good day but we didn't stay as long as we usually did when we would go out. We were wanting to get back home to the A/C in our house. We did go to see some of our Amish friends that we made years ago. One of our friends really surprised me because he is not doing real well health wise. I hated to see him feeling bad. Then we had a couple of soft pretzels at another Amish farm and then went to our favorite bakery and got us both a small size pie to bring home. I had a pecan pie and Randy picked out his favorite a raisin pie. We ate them when we got home and they were soooooooo good. We had a great day.
