You are now seeing what I am seeing. The boys are still asleep and I am having my coffee while looking out over the Amish countryside. We will be leaving this bucolic farmland today for the battlefields of Gettysburg. Hmm. Ponder this. Some of the bloodiest battlefields are in the midst of the Amish, Mennonite, and Quaker settlements.
Pondered. You're right, it is odd. Seems like with the peaceful setting, the soldiers would have said "Hey, who feels like fighting? Let's all go down to the river and go fishing and have a keg of ale." Makes sense to me. Alas.
