I went out Sunday morning, as I did several mornings in Frankfort, driving around the countryside looking for Canon Moments. Here's a nice Kentucky Home.
Some nice Kentucky Horses:
On Sunday we attended the First Methodist Church in Frankfort - a nice, old church in downtown Frankfort.
The church is leading an effort, called Go Frankfort, to improve life in Frankfort -- building playgrounds, cleaning up vacant property, painting a RR overpass, etc., and we heard an enthusiastic presentation about this year's projects.
Then, looking for more spring flowers, dogwoods and redbuds, we went over to Lexington, about 25 miles east of Frankfort. Drove US 60 over, admiring the farms, then found our way to the UK Arboretum.
Next, Ashland, the home of Henry Clay.
The Clay garden was mostly greenery, not flowery, so no nice flowering trees to show here. Instead, here, from Wikipedia, is a picture of the man himself.
While I looked around the grounds, Susie texted the kids and also Joyce and Jay Rush, with whom we had crossed paths in NM and Las Vegas several times in Feb. and March. From NM Jay and Joyce had gone to Tahlequah, OK for a Habitat for Humanity project. We had talked on the phone, but we didn't connect with them in OK as we swept across the state, Kentucky-bound. Well, Joyce called Susie and said, Where are you? Lo and behold, J&J were also in Lexington! Only a mile or so from Ashland. Their son, Michael, and family live in Lexington. They're in the process of moving to NE TN so we hadn't even thought about them possibly being in Lexington, much less about the possibility that J&J were in town. We went over and had a nice visit.
Two more days in Frankfort. Monday we're going to Danville, Tuesday back to Lexington to take a horse farm tour. Wednesday we move north to Cincinnati and get ready for a weekend of soccer.
Cheers,
Susie and Rob
