For many years, our road has been one that the local tour guides would bring their tourists down. They could point out the difference between Amish and English farms...curtains at the windows, cars and rubber wheeled tractors, "small" gardens...the Amish schoolhouse and no electric poles...
This week there have been some changes. Can you see what I do?
One family has left the Amish church, and they are putting electricity in their home. They would have preferred to put the lines underground, but for some reason one property owner didn't give permission to cross his property, so a whole new line of electric poles now dots the landscape. The poles just went up yesterday. No electric lines have been added yet...
We are so used to seeing the road clear of poles, that it's glaringly obvious to us, although it might seem like "nothing" to someone who might not drive by every day...
There's still one stretch of road that is clear...
I would never want them to not get electricity...it'll just take some getting used to!
