I hate it when the wind starts to chill and this year it seems to be chilling faster than usual. Here in the Ohio Valley the trees have barely begun to start to turn. I know the colors are beautiful but the chill in the air reminds me of the cold of winter and how bleak and bare things are. I long for the first buds of spring and the flowers that follow.
If you like fall foliage we have a lot of beautiful places, not far from here, to see. The highway through Bardstown past the Jim Beam distillery and on into Springfield, Lebanon, Campbellsville is always good scenery spring or fall. In spring the Dogwoods are everywhere and the fall colors are magnificent. I65 to "Elizebethtown" is also very scenic.
Going north on I65 you come to Henryville known for the Henryville forest and it's overlook. It's a breath taking view and in the right time of year the colors are indescribable. It's just a short drive from there up to Brown County Indiana where people come from miles to see the fall colors.
The back roads of Lexington are also great for picturesque scenery. Through the horse farm country, over to Frankfort, Harrodsburg and down to the Gorge. The States of Kentucky and Indiana supply a pallet of fall colors, thats if you get into that sorta thing LOL.
I really don't mind fall as much as winter. It's when those cold subfreezing temps run up my pants leg that I want to take up my son-in-laws invite to come to move to sunny Southern California.
Next weekend should be a good weekend for color. If we get out next week end we'll take the camera and share some of the scenery with you.
Go Cards!
