Beautiful Sunday afternoon in Kentucky. Although it looks like fall, it doesn't feel much like it. Incredibly, the high temperature yesterday was 80 degress F! We haven't even had a single frost yet.
This picture reminds me of last Sunday afternoon when Bob, Joan, and I went to Shaker Village nearby. Such a peaceful place and I love it especially in the fall. For the first time we took the riverboat trip, about an hour roundtrip between two of the locks. Because of the locks, the river in that stretch is more like a lake and very sparsely populated with people--animals, too, but all we saw were little schools of fish, some turtles sunning themselves on fallen logs, and one bold Great Blue heron who made a dramatic pass across the river right in front of us.
This railroad bridge spans the river just south (I think) of the riverboat landing. While we were loading people aboard, we were treated to several freight trains crossing the bridge as we watched.
We went to Louisville late yesterday afternoon to do some errands in the big city. Since we were going, we decided to go out to eat and invited mel and Mark to go with us. We went to a restaurant in an older part of the city called Butchertown, just east of downtown, which got its name as you might expect. The restaurant is called The Blind Pig, "home of swine dining in Butchertown". Despite that, it was a classy, casual place, and we had some really good food.
I just put a beef stew in the oven to slow-cook. Now I'm going back to make a homemade pasta sauce with our own tomatoes, which are still producing at a regular rate. They've slowed down some because the days are getting shorter, but without a frost, they're still chugging along.
Somos contentos.
