Today is our 39th anniversary. We aren't doing anything special, just enjoying each other's company. The restaurant we ate at is in big time Amish country in Spartansburg, Penna. It is called the Dutch Treat. The flowers around the restaurant are Easter Lilies, and are just beautiful. There is also a lake there called Clear Lake, and this next photo shows some of the Amish horses and buggies that were parked there while their owners fished.
On our way to the bulk food store we drove past by this house with the laundry drying out on the clothes line.
At the store there are many, many flowers everywhere. The "restroom" is surrounded with so many different kinds.
On the way home we passed this buggy.
We took a back road, and were in the heart of farm land.
This big old barn is no longer being used. It is huge. I can only imagine how many cows it used to house.
I mentioned that I don't have many butterflies, BUT I do have lots of these Cabbage Whites, and I didn't even plant cabbage this year!

Your header photo is great! Congratulations on your 39th anniversary! (we hit 38 this year). What a great looking place and it is nice to see the Amish life style. Almost ancient history to see clothes on a line! Many subdivisions here won't even allow it....doesn't fit the image they want...how sad when image is more important then energy concerns or personal preference. Glad you found the Cabbage Whites at least!
Happy anniversary! Your area is very picturesque and I love to see the horse and buggies. Lovely flowers too.
And I love to hang clothes on my clothesline :-), I almost feel guilty if I use my clothes dryer on a hot, sunny, breezy, summer day!
Happy anniversary! We reach 36 years next month. Glad you had a nice day to celebrate. We enjoy driving through the Amish community north of us, with the horses in the field, and clothes strung from house to barn.
Happy Anniversary to you both!!
I really enjoyed this post and seeing the photos re the Amish.
Happy Anniversary! It sounds like you had a lovely time in Amish Country. Don't they make the best food ever? I hope you had a very nice time together.
That Easter Lily is beautiful! And I see a lot of those white butterflies here too! Great capture!! And I love seeing the barns and farmland!!!
