Time for another edition of Living with the Amish (you can see the previous 12 editions here).

As always, there are actual pictures taken from my actual phone.

Remember those turtle carriers cars used to use in the 80s?

This is the Amish version.

Wood, plastic wrap, and a red rope.

Caught this Amish guy driving a motorized vehicle.

He thought no one would catch him in his Evilmobile, but I was there to snap a picture.

I’m like the Chris Hansen of the Amish community.

Hey horse, GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

As if riding a scooter in the dead of winter isn’t punishment enough,

here, wear this bright safety vest so no one misses you.

When the snow and ice are too much for the buggy, it’s time to break out the sled.

(aka, Amish snow tires)

What’s in the backpack, buddy?

Hockey sticks?

Farm equipment?

Power outlets and extension cords?

If you live in Lancaster County and have a nose, then you know what this is.

It’s a large green vessel filled with manure for enriching the soil.

When the wind is blowing just right, these things can ruin your entire day.

and finally, time to ask you guys for a caption

i took this picture at the movies a few weeks ago. If you can’t tell, I’m sitting behind an Amish girl.

(caption please)

  2. this and that says:

    I think ‘Living with the Amish’ are my favorites of all your posts. Well, I can’t leave out the ‘Guess the title of the CD’ posts. Those are great, too.

    We don’t have the green tanks over here in my West Caln neighborhood, we still have the actual flop flingers!!!
    And if you happen to have wash drying outside on the clothesline and they decide to spread, well….. guess who is re-doing the wash and using the electric dryer!!!!

    She chose ONE movie with which to break her vow of Luddism and the movie she chose was When in Rome?!

    More importantly, why were YOU there?

    • Bryan Allain says:

      I have a good excuse.

      We went to see Valientine’s Day and it was all sold out and we had a small time window due to babysitters, so we saw When in Rome.

      I take that back…I do not have a good excuse.

      ps…you were the only other one who knew that was When in Rome…hmmm…

  5. Katy G says:

    I remember taking walks while I was pregnant w/ Isaac down a back road in Christiana and the poop shooter was running in a field..almost got sick to my stomach. I’ll take winters that last for 7 months over that! :)

    “Excuse me … is this the theater for ‘Witness’?”
