Of course, that would work for me cause we already have the wagon and horses......... In our town horses are still considered transportation. I kid you not. Must be those of Swiss-German descent? Hell no. These are Indiana born and raised for generations and generations. Several groups have come to our area as well. It's like really kinda weird when met, like a step back in time. Nope. It's just a small town in Indiana. I'm in the heart of town. There's the post office, town hall, our only restaurant and four grain silos. Oh, yeah, and the tornado siren. There are no stop signs/lights on Main Street. I keep my horses in the heart of town and I can ride them right to the door of the post office if I feel like it. If you run across anyone named "Flora" in Indiana, they're probably kin to me. My g.g. Uncle John Flora founded the town of Flora, Indiana. My family back there is Mennonite. (And Swiss-German.) Cool. I'm not from Indiana and have only been here five year so I'll have to look up where that is. Grandpa Flora grew up horse farming back there. I come by these tendencies to garden, farm and raise livestock honestly : ) Not bad heritage, is it? I'm a farmer at heart but grew up in a city. I keep trying to talk farmers into letting me run their heavy equipment under the guise of "helping them" but, really, I just want to be a farmer driving a big ol' John Deere. |
