Terrific capture, Bill - the Amish keep going no matter what the weather! We got a mix of about everything from hail to snow, but nothing like what was predicted, thank goodness. #10967105

I couldn't see me hanging out clothes in the winter. I don't even do it in the summer! LOL This is excellent, Bill! #10967465

We had 8" of snow today too. I'd like to get down to Amish country before winter ends but don't know if I'll make it. This is fantastic, Bill! #10967746

I love this Bill. I love the laundry hanging out in the winter and the entire feel of this capture. Since all our Amish neighbors hang their laundry out to dry during the winter, I thought I would give it a try. Things came in frozen stiffer than a board. I could stand them up! :) #10971137
