Our next stop was the auction area. As we walked closer, we realized how heavy the traffic was, and that something was definitely going on. Not a livestock auction, though. This was different. We followed the crowd. The male crowd... The hatted, black and navy-wearing, German-speaking, male crowd... There was an auction, alright. There were pallets and pallets piled higher than you can imagine with big manly tools. There were engines and generators -- ones big enough to run everything on our street, my hubby said. There were tractors and forklifts and the list goes on and on.
What a great day out with my hubby! I've been to Amish Country many, many times - but never experienced a day like today. It was really something to see these delightful people in their element!
And... I DID get some delicious Amish cooking afterall!
Here's my tip for the day (you know, for next time you head to Amish Country): If you want to blend in, rather than stick out like a sore thumb... think dark colors -- not bright purple. Just sayin'.
