Summer is here and it’s time for the top to come off your favorite hot rod. Now is the time to feel the sun and wind in your face as you glide down the road.

Amish Sportster

All models come in basic black and are ready for the one horse power drive attachment. Enjoy the open air and the 360 degree visibility – you’ll need to as you take all day getting anywhere.

Going green is easy with the Amish Sport Buggy. With plenty of fresh grass fueling the power unit the exhaust is bound to turn green.

Having trouble finding a parking spot? Not when you go Amish Powered and can leave your transportation standing.

A couple of Amish horse and buggy photos.

Now who’s going to look me in the eye and tell me the horse is wrong?

Now who throws away a pair of perfectly good horses?

Work was called on account of rain this afternoon so I got a chance to post this quick. I’m having a hard time sitting in front of the computer and you’ll see why in a couple of days when I post some rock pics.

Want a quick preview of what I’m dealing with?

The current project.

Stone Walkway

Next on the list:
Yea right – Like I’m going to finish this one before the end of June.

Patio project

I’m thinking I should write an instruction sheet, call it a kit and let the homeowner put it together.

Now you can understand why I come home – drink a beer or two and take a nap before bedtime. Have I mentioned that I’m not in a big hurry to start my work day early? I don’t like getting stoned before 10 AM.

Black Monday

Today’s theme is black even though the photographs are mainly white. I can’t get away from the snow and my thoughts are turning towards the dark side.

I would think this merchant’s mood is definitely black. All winter the snow has been plowed into a giant pile in front of the store. Not that there’s no where else to put it. A dispute over maintenance fees with the parking lot owner and the store’s property owner has left this retailer behind the proverbial 8 ball.

I’m pretty sure the buggy driver isn’t in a black mood. The Amish are pretty good at taking things in stride but I did sense a little frustration at the traffic. Main Steet in Canton isn’t known for the traffic giving anyone a break. This poor guy was sitting quiet a while waiting for a chance to pull out.

Waiting on Traffic

Oh, talk about waiting for your vehicle to warm up. I’ve got to stop complaining. At least I don’t have to wait until spring for the heat to come on in my truck.

I’m a bit peeved at myself for not stopping the other day when the sky was blue and the Black Birds were in the same pose. A lesson to be learned – not an excuse to turn fowl.

     I did stop for this shot yesterday. It’s not the best bird photo but I did like the way the sun shined on it’s feathers.

So in the end I can leave happy. I’m not going to let a little snow today turn me into Darth Vader.

I’ll wait till tomorrow.

Good thing tomorrow never comes or I’d be eating crow.
