My Amish Home | Just a couple of chatterboxes hanging out

”The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world: And the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be at the end of this world. The son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into the furnace of fire ...” Matthew 13:38,39,40,41,42

What a dreary day! Heavy clouds, rain, this morning we had a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow. It soon was just rain. I believe now by this afternoon it has quit raining. We got a little over an inch of rain.

It seems brighter out, but still too much cloud cover, our solar panel isn’t charging. On my way to get Erwin at the workshop, it was thundering and lightning. Yeah, weather like this makes me want to pack up and head for the sunny south. I wouldn’t mind winter so much if I didn’t have to leave every day. Or if our horse wasn’t old and senile. Some days he’s fine, and next, you never know what dumb stunt he’s going to do. It really gets on my nerves! Oh well — enough whining!

For those FReepers who denigrate the hard working Amish, but have none of them among their acquaintances, meet Millie through her weekly column.

Nobody denigrates the Amish, Amish are used when a crime has occured and the media goes out of its way to hide the identity of the culprits. They are used in that context because of the outright and obvious absurdity.

And in this context, it’s pronounced: AY-mish
