I haven't left yet but am starting to miss it

I pass this house every day.  There is another tree on the left side as big as this one on the right.  I can't stop to take a good picture because there is no place to stop!  Trees line both sides up to the road.  I'll bet somebody in the 1700's planted little trees on each side of the walkway to their new house.
Hosanna Meeting House on Lincoln University Campus by us.  The basement has a secret room which was used heavily during the underground railroad.  We are just 8 miles north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Love living among the Amish.
Amish church was held here today.  They meet every other week at someone's farm.  We pass this farm as well as 4 others on the way to church.  I will miss seeing them buggy and walk to church.
Parking lot.
This must be why our power went out Friday night for 2 hours.  No worries.  We weathered two hurricanes, Ivin and Sandy, without power.  We finally bought a generator.  Friday we fired it up and had light and radio while I cut Charlie's hair.
My favorite tree just a quarter mile away.  It's massive!  Picture doesn't do it justice.  The trunk is moss covered and gnarled to the hilt.  That is a two story house to the right.  It is across the street from an equestrian stable.  I drive past the Amish farms and then hit the horses (not literally) and my favorite 300 year old tree and then I am home.  I am missing it already.
