~~~A Day in the Country!!!!!~~~

On Friday,  Joe and I took a little day trip. We drove up to Lititz, Pa. We have been there several times but not for quite awhile. It was a GORGEOUS day: mid 80's and very low humidity, a perfect summer day. I wanted to share some of the sights we saw. Lititz is a very old town in the heart of  Lancaster county. You all know that Yvonne of Stone Gable lives in the midst of beautiful Lancaster county. The rolling farmland is beautiful and there are so many BEAUTIFUL, big old homes. Here are some pics I took today. This is Main Street. There are shops and eateries all along here. That is Joe's car parked there:) And a peak of him on the left:):)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXmyWYGN5XvNOtOcmB6yBe99z_n56_SIYc73RpCQHDoy2DJahM3Nv3xy0R3NqL23mKCNQsEJCLxQ0e7g2oJ34eJf5MvaZ9JWdoKuZGmV69b6A3IF1g0FtrDIvspXJb0hAp0_JpGF3d65Hf/s1600/IMG_1011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXmyWYGN5XvNOtOcmB6yBe99z_n56_SIYc73RpCQHDoy2DJahM3Nv3xy0R3NqL23mKCNQsEJCLxQ0e7g2oJ34eJf5MvaZ9JWdoKuZGmV69b6A3IF1g0FtrDIvspXJb0hAp0_JpGF3d65Hf/s640/IMG_1011.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmcElhejkpzoO1rZNCV_Hm7BwHVWN0baDU1YhTql6D0KeRozgmUQj10H7u9qqpSvuw-M5ZhS7PYs-O18sAXv2PaPjy1jfaFuJPMTP1Q5gyxJUs0lsHj5BzKpJjY_AMuoPARrhi12BrQWCT/s1600/IMG_1012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmcElhejkpzoO1rZNCV_Hm7BwHVWN0baDU1YhTql6D0KeRozgmUQj10H7u9qqpSvuw-M5ZhS7PYs-O18sAXv2PaPjy1jfaFuJPMTP1Q5gyxJUs0lsHj5BzKpJjY_AMuoPARrhi12BrQWCT/s640/IMG_1012.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> All along the street the shops have done beautiful flowers too.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WfoLqv2cdHDxr0VUPbPhIFaK1AcsQkMx8ZuA3GnHL_e7dmY_opBQWveI97C1sEtrMpPIl7AiIGNZKA1EEbS6jjvEHbdePbqX0wacsm08Gptsb_1WMMh9DNCgkshHwcFz6hMCmE44qaR8/s1600/IMG_1013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WfoLqv2cdHDxr0VUPbPhIFaK1AcsQkMx8ZuA3GnHL_e7dmY_opBQWveI97C1sEtrMpPIl7AiIGNZKA1EEbS6jjvEHbdePbqX0wacsm08Gptsb_1WMMh9DNCgkshHwcFz6hMCmE44qaR8/s640/IMG_1013.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This was the private yard of one of the shop owners.
