Simple Living?

Amish Buggy

Amish Buggy

I recently attended my grandfather’s estate sale around Rushsylvania in Logan County Ohio.  While walking to Grandma’s house from where we parked, we noticed this Amish horse and buggy tied to a tree in Grandpa’s walnut tree woods.

So much about this picture evokes the notion of a simple life.   It is peaceful, quiet and serene.  For me, this is a big part of what I like about going home. It relaxes me.

Still, it is a bit of a paradox. Simple does not mean easy.  It doesn’t really take much to care for and maintain an automobile.  Feeding and caring for a horse on the other hand — not so much. How about enjoying that nice grove of trees? That only took ~30 years to develop 🙂
