Amish Country

Jen and I went to Amish Country in Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful sunny day, the country side was gorgeous, and the food was amazing. We ate so much! We had homemade soft pretzels, frozen hot chocoolate, chocolate from Wilbur's chocolate factory, italian ice, turkey sandwich and birch beer, toffee icecream with waffle cone, tons of samplings of homemade jam, pumpkin whoopie pie, then finished up with some treats from the Hershey chocolate factory.
But I think what I loved most was when we pulled over at an old tiny cemetary, there was a corn field next to it. I felt compelled towards it, I stopped at the edge wondering if I walked in would I disappear into another world. Kinda like field of dreams. It felt completely possible. The corn instantly swallowed me up. It felt magical being completely lost from view and hearing nothing but the rushing of the stalks in the breeze.

Happy 4th of July!

My goal for today is to make 4th of July cupcakes. I don't know when cupcakes became a sign of honor to me but for some reason it makes sense that celebration + love = cupcakes
