This time out taking pictures, I found some farmers plowing. The first three pictures are of plowing equipment I saw. The next five pictures are of Bishop Joseph (Martha's husband) plowing his fields. He thought it was kind of funny that I wanted pictures of him plowing. I explained that some people that live in cities have never seen a farmer plow. Also, he was concerned that I would get his face in the pictures. I told him my camera wasn't that good from the distance I was from his tractor. When I got done, I showed him and Martha all the pictures so I could delete anything he didn't approve. He approved them all. The last picture is the back part of the field after it was plowed. Of all the Amish and Old Order Mennonites that I know, in their area, Bishop Joseph was the only one plowing that day. I want to thank Bishop Joseph and Martha for allowing me to take the pictures.

The pictures are great.The last one of the plowed field looks so nice. He has such beautiful property, and it was kind of him to let you take the pictures.

Good Morning Doreen,
So happy you like today's pictures. It was so nice of him to let me take the pictures. He didn't think anyone would want to see pictures of plowing.
He does have beautiful property.

Hi Folks,
I think we are going to have something special on next week. We are having Wowee Wildlife Extravaganza in Palmyra this weekend and I got permission to go in and take all the pictures I wanted. I know they have lots of wildlife for the whole family. We have never had anything like this in town before that I can remember, so I can't wait to see it. I hope it doesn't rain this weekend. I am charging all three sets of batteries for my camera. So we will see what we will see next week.

Some beautiful pictures Marilyn. I agree that it is a very well kept peace of property. Obviously they are able to use tractors. It was kind of him to allow you to share the photos with us all. I hope you and Pierre are doing well. Once again life has kept me very busy and although I have been reading always. Take care and thanks for all you do to keep us up to date a filled with such great blog information. Always praying for everyone. Veronica
Hi Veronica,
Glad you enjoy the pictures. Yes, the Old Order Mennonites in that area use tractors. It was kind of Bishop Joseph to allow the pictures. Pierre and I are doing well. Hope things are well for you. Thank you for the compliments and prayers.

Thank you to you for taking the photos and to Bishop Joseph for allowing you to. I am one of the city folk who rarely sees a farmer's field, let alone someone actually plowing it.
Good Morning Rosemary,
I will see that Bishop Joseph gets your message. So glad you could see someone actually plowing a field.
Marilyn
