Postcard: Autumn in Amish Country

Most eastern Holmes County farms were originally settled by Amish families whose ancestors still live on them. So, you'll still find many miles of farm land that is unencumbered by modern technology, with big red or white barns, big wood framed farm houses, and valleys unmarred by electric lines.

My parents sent this postcard to me in 1994 during a trip they took to visit family in Ohio. It always makes me want to live somewhere that actually has a legitimate fall season, with colorful leaves, harvests, and smoky smells...

I hear you. I've really been missing the East Coast recently.
