Typical Kansas

We took this picture of a mail box near Quivara NWR Kansas. The ground is so wet that wildflowers instead of grain make up the field behind the mail box. In the distance you can see a wheat field.

Carriage Crossing Mennonite restaurant in Yoder, Kansas

We ate at Carriage Crossing Mennonite restaurant in Yoder, Kansas. It seems we always see fresh breads and pastries in Mennonite communities. This place was no different. The size of those frosted buns shocked me though. Look at them in comparison to the donuts or in relation to the loaf of bread. Those things must have weighed two pounds. They were huge. I drooled ----- but did not get one.

Amish children in Yoder, Kansas

These Amish children were so precious. We stopped and watched them run and play on their scooters. I thought they were Mennonite but was informed by a local that these children were Amish. We were in the small Mennonite town of Yoder a few miles south of Hutchison so I just "thought" they were Mennonite. I do so appreciate the kind folks who take the time to write and tell me when I make these mistakes.

Amish horse and buggy seen in Yoder, Kansas

Equally as cute was the transportation these Amish children used to get to town. That small pony is attached to the red cart with bicycle wheels. How cute is that?

Kansas Alfalfa Field

Wheat is not the only thing grown in Kansas although there is a lot of wheat. This is an alfalfa field and we see a good bit of it. Farmers are also planting milo and soy beans along with some corn.

And this is Kansas through our eyes.
