Ohio Amish Country Experiencesand Ohio Amish Country Marketing Volume 03 May 2011
Dear Ohio Amish Country Enthusiast, If the old adage about April showers bringing May flowers holds true by volume this year - we're in for an amazing treat. We've been deluged with showers, and can only hope we have as many flowers! The temperatures have been rather chilly (40s & 50s) for most of the month with the exception of two separate days when we actually hit over 80 degrees. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. We even had a few snow flakes in between.
One thing for sure, if you don't like the weather in Northeast Ohio - wait a few minutes and it just might change! May is all about planting time in Ohio Amish Country. If the rain keeps up, they may want to consider rice - ok, maybe it's not that bad, but we do have some small "ponds" where plants should be. As the weather cooperates the Amish will be out in their fields and gardens in earnest. Surviving next winter depends on this summer's crops.
You'll see horse teams pulling plows and working the ground like they did in the "old days." It's a sight to behold! Come to Ohio Amish Country and experience the beauty of spring! It's like a kaleidoscope of colors made out of blossoms, flowers and greenery. There are daffodils, tulips and dandelions spreading their colors across the ground, while the lilacs, forsythia and fruit blossoms grace the bushes and trees.
The vast array and brilliance of colors from new life springing forth actually surpasses the beauty of fall's foliage - but probably doesn't last much longer. So, don't delay, you'll not want to miss this picture-perfect time of year! Plan a spring vacation or weekend getaway before it's all gone. Remember, from here on out until fall - it only gets busier and busier in Ohio Amish Country. Beat the rush, make your reservations now! And, don't forget, if you need a little help navigating around Ohio Amish Country, we strongly advise that you get an Ohio Amish Country map. _________________________________________________________________ In this issue we'll be highlighting: Our Feature of the Month - New Recipe Books The Tip of the Month - Amish Home Remedies A - Featured Recipe of the Month - Whole Wheat Bread And as always Monthly Events - Find out what's happening - where and when in Ohio Amish Country. _________________________________________________________________ Cooking with the Horse & Buggy People I & II
