It was my birthday.
Actually, my birthday was in June, but a friend and I decided to go on an antiquing outing to celebrate, and we finally found a couple days to make this work.
We ventured to the middle of the state; made a rather minor detour to check off Mt. Zion covered bridge from the 'covered-bridge-life list'---on our way from a successful stop in Bardstown (vintage quilt) to Pleasant Hill Shaker Village where we spent the night.
The trip was perfect. The colors, the shops (even a yarn store!!!), the food, the accomodations, the temperatures, the company.
P - E - R - F - E - C - T.
If we had waited another two days, we would have been snowed on.
It was so much fun, we decided to come back next October.
Happy Birthday to me. Cheers.
A perfect celebration! Lovely

I love the house above the cow. I could happily live there. Rather like the cow as well actually, would he come with it do you think?

Beautiful colors. It is so nice sometimes to get in a car and get away for a couple of days - to enjoy new places, new people, miss your home and come back to your life, to your yarn stash and WIPs )
