I was driving around yesterday and realized I was near the house of the Amish Dahlia dealer I met a couple of weeks ago. I pulled into her driveway, grabbed my camera and she smiled and said: “You’re back for more pictures!” I was.
The usual questions began only this time with a special request. “What do you do with these pictures? Do the people leave comments? Do you ever tell the people where they can buy these flowers?”
I told her that I usually don’t but that this time I would mention that there is a wonderful woman selling the most beautiful Dahlias I’ve ever seen who lives on the corner of Ridge Road in Gordonville, Pennsylvania.
You can tell her the big guy with the Honda sent you and say: “Er is weenich ad.” Which means: “He’s a little off in the head.” I think she’ll know exactly who you mean.
“Er is weenich ad.” – What language is that? I’ve been watching the old Hamish Macbeth series, so it looks Scottish to me. But maybe it’s Dutch?

Its Pennsylvania Dutch which is their language. If you don’t say these things exactly right you can easily be calling them obscene names without even knowing it. Then no pictures for you!

I told her a lot of readers are either out of state or out of the country but although she may not have understood blogging she knew about marketing. 🙂

This is brilliant. I wish to go to the USA only to say this. Solange es noch steht. 😀 (Allusion to the old song Besuchen Sie Europa solange es noch steht.)

Thanks Mexi. As long as the USA still stands or as long as the flower stand still stands?
