September is here even if today is supposed to be blisteringly hot, it still is a promise of cooler weather soon. This is one of many Amish school houses that dot the countryside in Lancaster, PA. The schools serve a very small number of local children who bike, walk or scooter to the building in all sorts of weather. The structures are very similar and all have a fence enclosing the property since the tragic shooting of school children a few years ago. I noted that most of them were also painted the same shade of yellow/brown. That was not always the case. You can see the outhouses on each property and usually a well. Also note the terribly dangerous playground equipment - those risk-taking daring Amish.
