i live in a small city in pennsylvania. i'm about thirty minutes from lancaster county, an hour from philadelphia, and my home is literally on a small mountain right above reading. i recently was asked if pennsylvania is all farmland and amish country or if that was just a misconception.
my answer? yes and no. the landscape in pa is diverse...like i said, i live on a mountain. my parents built our home on five acres of woods, and within minutes, we can drive into city, suburbs, or farmland. one of the suburbs of reading is oley, which consists mostly of rolling hills and farms. here's a peek at that particular area!
what does home look like for you?
PRETTY!! This is my kind of home :)
ReplyDeleteI love that first picture! Beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Love this look at where you are from!
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful. home for me...looks....complicated. lol.
ReplyDeleteOh man I so loved these pictures!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this peek into your world! What a gorgeous place to live. There is something so free and peaceful about living in the country like this.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, I love the country. I really really do. I like the convenience I get with living in the city but my heart is having a home and land...I have even went so far as to say I want a farm..not sure I know what all that means...BUT...yea... love the country.
ReplyDeleteI love this post! Your pictures are gorgeous. My home is quite similar to yours, just not that green! I live on 2 acres in a rural area in Texas. All of the houses in my neighborhood are on an acre or more. Town is about 10 minutes away and there are farms & ranches all around us. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI live in the Netherlands and home looks just like yours. Except for the mountains. But the corn and the cows, i would fut right in ;)
ReplyDeleteAhhh! I love all your photos! So beautiful! I miss being out in the country. I grew up in Missouri, which is lovely. But right now how is LA. It's not my favorite but there are some great things here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Seems so peaceful. Makes me miss Oklahoma! It was so relaxing out there.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love farm life. My great-gramma lived in lancaster when she was alive and we used to LOVE to visit her. We'd drive all around the country and just enjoy the peace and quiet! :) These pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents used to live outside of Lancaster - in Intercourse actually. Ha. This brought back some great memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos! Your home is beautiful! Sound alike the best of both worlds; rural yet close to everything. Ideal in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is gorgeous! Wow.....I live in a very small town in Southern Missouri. It is a farming community! I love how in the summer, its corn and beans. Fall is cotton and it is beautiful here. Looks like snow for miles and miles!
ReplyDeleteLove the coloring of the cows! The corn photos are awesome! Looks pretty much just like home here in Iowa!
ReplyDeleteI'm also from PA, I originally lived in Erie on 10 acres of woods but now I'm in Pittsburgh in a small two bedroom condo...oh how things change!
ReplyDeleteawe, thanks lauren! it is a gorgeous area to live in :)
ReplyDeletethanks jenny!! :)
ReplyDeletethanks madison! :)
ReplyDeletehaha, well this is just one glimpse of home...its definitely not this picturesque everywhere!
ReplyDeletethanks christina!!
ReplyDeleteawe, thanks jenna! it's so true...it can definitely be tranquil!
ReplyDeletei totally hear ya...living in the city can be so convenient! i think we get the best of both worlds...we can drive 10 minutes in one direction and find farmland, but drive 10 in the other and find the mall! haha
ReplyDeletethanks girl! texas is on my list of states to visit! i would love to see what home looks like for you! :)
ReplyDeletereally?! that's awesome! i love that you can be halfway around the world and home still can look the same :)
ReplyDeletethanks samantha! ooooh...i love the city, but la is a whole lot of city! haha
ReplyDeletethanks! it is definitely tranquil!
ReplyDeletereally?! that's so awesome! lancaster is definitely even more farm-y than berks county, but we are right next door to them! :)
ReplyDeletehaha i love telling people that there's an intercourse pa! and all of the other crazy silly names in lancaster :)
ReplyDeletethanks so much anne! it is so true! very ideal :)
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, that sounds BEAUTIFUL! I would LOVE to see it in the fall!
