Last weekend, we took a trip to Central Pennsylvania for a family get-together.
As years go by, and with family scattered across the country,
these gatherings are as rare as they are enjoyable.
The weekend was filled with laughter and stories - sharing the good and the not-so-good -
as families often do.
Greg and I had the pleasure of exploring the Pennsylvania countryside
with our two lovely nieces from Arkansas.
The mission - scouting for barns, farms and Amish - which seemed like a pretty easy mission for Central Pennsylvania.
This was the closest we came to a buggy
(sigh)
But, I'd still call the outing a success.
This camera-shy cow turned to let me take her picture after I mooed to her.
Apparently, I have a knack for mooing.
We found many quaint farms.
and beautiful barn yards
and charming barns.
We enjoyed our Pennsylvania gathering so much that a summer get-together in Baltimore is in the works -
God willin' and the crick don't rise.
Thanks for dropping in!

ReplyDeletehaha i see your catch phrase has stuck with you :D love the photos, especially the one of the cow that you were mooing to and the clothes on the line!
ReplyDeleteThe barns are so interesting and so beautiful!!! And a cow is fantastic. I love that it has different colors. Where I live the cows are mostly have dark brown colors and on the pictures they don't look so great.
ReplyDeleteAnd a picture with many clothes hanging on a rope made me smile. it is simply great!!!
Beautiful pictures of the charming barns!!!
Such a beautiful area! I like the tall, shuttered windows on the first barn.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip and you gathered some great shots of the Pennsylvania countryside. Love those barns and clothes on the line, so what country means to me.
ReplyDeleteLove the barn and the cow has the funniest look on her face! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Really cool barns. I love the cows :)
ReplyDeleteGlad that you are preserving the barns in pictures. Most are gone from our area.
