The grass is growing and the redbuds are in full bloom on Indiantree Farm. It's a glorious time to be in Ohio's Amish country.
The neighbors are all plowing and planting. The heifers are romping through the pasture like teenagers running off a bad case of cabin fever.
It's been warm, and mostly sunny, and that has drawn out what seems like a record number of flies and tourists, not that there's any connection between the two.
We're mowing again these past two weeks -- about three hours each week -- which gives us plenty of time to sit and think about such things.
