Great photo!

It reminded me if this little ditty and the suggestive version that was sung by British soldiers many years ago.

"This is the day we give babies away
With a half a pound of tea
You just open the lid, and out pops the kid
With a twelve month guarantee..."

"This is the day we give babies away
With a half a pound of tea
If you know any ladies who want any babies
Just send them round to me..."

Bridesmaids going to a wedding. Isn't that an awful lot of bridesmaids for one wedding?

When I was little my grandmother had a horse drawn plant setter/transplanter similar to this that we hooked behind a tractor. In every picture it is always the same, a man driving with women and children bumping along the ground eating dust.

Thanks, Bea. It must take a long time to get those horses harnessed up. I'd like to watch them do it.

DW and I have done a lot of biking in Ohio, Amish country, and always enjoy seeing the buggies.

We saw a funeral procession in Lancaster, PA. The deceased was in a hearse and behind followed a long, long procession of Amish buggies. Interesting thing was that there were only men in the buggies, no women as far as I could see.
