This Amish family brings back a snapshot of a bygone era in this part of the country. Their wagons and buggy's are a familiar sight on most days. They are warm and friendly people who although live in a closed community are nonetheless always willing to lend a hand to a neighbor even if they aren't Amish. A good deal of the Amish that populate upstate New York are involved in agriculture although an equal number of them are involved in the trades: Carpenters, bricklayers, craftsmen. I always enjoy the sound of a horses' hooves and the sound of a wagon wheel coming down the road. If nothing else it is an earnest reflection of the humble beginnings of this country.
