Popular Post Dusty Dan Posted June 19, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) The rain has fallen in abundance this Spring and with the humidity now, the corn crop is doing quite well here in South Central Pennsylvania. Hopefully, with more on the way, and with just enough seasonal temperatures, the crop will flourish and the farmers will have a good year. It will be much, much taller later on. This is “field corn” of course, but when the “sweet corn” comes in, we will be very happy to buy some from our local farm market. They will have it in white, yellow and bi-color. Nothing like fresh corn on the cob for supper, along with some sweet iced tea. Bump this photo up a few times for a better view of this beautiful countryside. I took this photo yesterday while waiting for my grandson to get off work from his landscaping. Edited June 19, 2019 by Dusty Dan 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Dan Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 This is actually near Sharpsburg, Maryland. This is the Joseph Poffenberger farm on the Antietam National Battlefield. A bloody battlefield of the American Civil War. I took the photo a few months ago. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the days have been in the mid 90’s. About two weeks ago we had a three day stretch of 97° + days. Then some thunderstorms cooled things off for a short while. Storms expected here tonight and tomorrow. But August is hot and humid usually in south central Pennsylvania. This is as far south as I have ever lived. You could not pay me to live in Florida. I’ll take the snow and cold in the winter before that. Edited July 30, 2019 by Dusty Dan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dusty Dan Posted December 4, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 Went up into the mountains for a few days to do some deer hunting and visit my old friends (since 1969) on the farm at the foot of the Broad Mountain in Carbon County. The farmer got a new (old) Farmall. (first photo) 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Dan Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Two more from Franklin County Pennsylvania and one from Carbon County Pennsylvania on a cold and icy day last year……..and one from on top of the Blue Mountain in Lehigh County………..The first two from Franklin County are just down the road, the one from Carbon Country was from a deer hunting trip, and the last one from on top of the mountain along the tower line is where I hiked when I lived there several years ago. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Dan Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Took a ride this cold and rather cloudy Monday afternoon with my chihuahua. November 29, 2021. I tried to get a few different photos but the only problem is that there is no place to pull over and there always seemed to be a car or truck behind me. Thus, the photos are taken from inside my Toyota RAV4: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Dan Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 This is an old photo, as you can see, taken sometime in the mid 1970’s, of two of my very good friends who farmed in the Quakake Valley of Carbon County, Pennsylvania. These are old Farmall Tractors I believe and this is father and son with the father in the lead tractor. They farmed about 120 acres between two mountains. I have known the family since 1969 and unfortunately the father passed away a few years ago. Now his son and wife run the small dairy farm. (sorry about the quality of the photo but it is old) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Dan Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 This is only a painting, of course, but it is very representative of the farm country in my part of Pennsylvania. I just thought it was cute with the little Amish girl watching the geese following them. We have many Amish farms here in Franklin County as well as in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They have beautiful farms and raise wonderful crops to sustain the farms, mostly dairy farms, and also sell some quality produce and baked goods at their roadside stands. They are fine people. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
