Spring Photos From Ohio's Amish Country

Here is the essence of Amish-style family and communality.  There are at least four residences at this farm.  That gives a place for the nuclear family and two sets of grandparents.  Then what is the fourth house used for?  Perhaps for a brother's or sister's family? Or for great-grandparents?  Any way you look at it, that's prosperity right there.  And it's the reason Amish people don't make any use of retirement homes.  Once you have retired, the children build a house for you right on the farm.
