Mennonite country


If you head a few hours west of Toronto, you land right in the heart of Mennonite Country. My husband and I drove out to watch the ladies of the LPGA play in Canada this weekend and Saint Jacob's was right on the way. Of course we couldn't just zip through town without stopping for a look! We walked Main Street and meandered through the farmer's market, but unfortunately we didn't catch a buggy. I hope this mural will suffice! To see more murals, take a look at Monday Murals.

The Saint Jacob's Market is one of the best to meander through, though I'll admit it's been a few years since I was there last. Nice mural too.

Neat. It has been several years since I was in St Jacob's. Thanks for the reminder. I used to go to the market to buy Shoo Fly Pie.

I must say that is one of the nicest murals I've seen. What a delightful day you must have had...stopping in this town and then LPGA golf! Hard to beat!

The buggy looks like it's ready to turn onto the street. A lively reminder of a not so distant past. Sounds like you had a wonderful outing. Thanks for contributing to Monday Mural.

Very nice mural... I knew a Mennonite a few years ago on a flight from Poland. He was coming from a mission in Kiev and we had plenty of time to talk about his religion.

That's a great buggy mural - I like the depth.

I echo Oakland DP... that well-proportioned horse and his buggy do look ready to step right off the "canvas"... My memory must be soft; I don't recall a Mennonite community near Toronto. I'm surprised to see VP's comment about meeting a practitioner on a plane.

I hate the new word verification. Since I have trouble reading those "words", I am assuming others do too.
