This collection of photographs and stories springs from the egocentric notion that others might enjoy reading a crone’s tales of a life lived somewhat off the beaten path. The stories are all true (unless noted otherwise). All WizenedEye.com photographs accompanying these pieces are my own work and are © copyrighted, as are the fiction pieces and fictional personae.
Note from the Wizened Wizard: The next few posts will be stories about life on one North Country farm. Although they are not in chronological order, it is probably best to read them in the order listed here. So far, the stories are:
......... Farmer Boy
....... A Black Hat and a Buggy.
......... Haying
......... Farm Therapy
......... Some Scenes from the "New Farm"
......... July 4th

Some fabulous stories you've got here, Wiz!!! My middle sis spent 3 years of undergrad school in Lancaster Co. PA and had some great stories to share, as well. (Her Jr year of undergrad school was spent at Oxford.) I had intended to fly out to see her graduate, but the hubby wound up out of work and we didn't have the money to do so. But I love hearing tales of the amish way of life and seeing what pictures CAN be provided, ethically. Thanks for sharing with us!
Awesome! I am looking forward to them.
sometime today i will take the time to carefully peruse them. but now on to that first cuppa joe and taking care of a sick child .... again....
sigh..
I think you'd like the movie, "Off the Map"- judging by some of the things seen here. It's a great movie- very rustic and moving.
Kati - Having a chance to know some Amish has been quite a privilege. The different sects and groups can vary considerably. Up here we have two main groups, and one of them is much more "modern" than the other. Unlike in Pennsylvania, tourists haven't really found them here, so they are just a quiet part of the landscape.
Whim - Some of these posts are part of a short story I've been working on. It's the very personal story of a character not yet introduced here, so I must be careful about what I reveal.
Shaumi - I hope things are looking up. Poor sick child... poor lover of sick child...
L.P. - I have seen "Off the Map" and I LOVE IT!
WW ~ I loved coming here; what an amazing writer you are and what a wonderful blog you have. Cheers to a life lived off the beaten path...I am so glad to now be here!
Thursdaynext - I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit and hope you'll return often. The forest can thrive despite the footprints of unlimited numbers of virtual guests! Welcome!
