This past Saturday was the running of the 137th Kentucky Derby and we knew all eyes were on us. Derby is our yearly chance to dispel the stereotypes we Kentuckians are plagued with the other 364 days of the year. I won't waste my time writing about those, but will introduce you to the Kentucky that I know.
There is something special about Kentucky in the spring. It is hard to explain just how green it is here....and no, pictures do not do it justice. The redbud's and dogwoods are blooming, the white fences await a fresh coat of paint, and the silver gets polished in time for High Hope.
Of course, once spring slips into summer and the humidity takes hold, we start to dream of those crisp fall days and that sea of blue.
P.S. Yes, we do wear shoes....even our horses wear shoes! :)

Great pictures - really like the one on the bottom left corner.
ReplyDeleteThank you Glenda. The picture at the bottom left is one of many horse farms here in Lexington. Unfortunately, I can't remember which one :( Thank you for stopping by.
