summer...continued.....

Well hello beautiful!

This horse was spotted on one of our after dinner rides, which has been my favorite part of this summer so far. Right after dinner.... going out along the farm roads, enjoying the pretty scenery, sunsets and fireflies. The canopy of trees, the cool spots over the creeks that make you shiver from cold, and the smell of endless fields of fresh baled bluegrass hay.

There is a quote I heard once...something that if John Denver wrote that West Virginia was almost heaven....that has to mean that Kentucky IS heaven. Seriously, the nights we've had lately make me believe that!

- of course I also love the stereotypical Kentucky jokes and quotes too. ;) Let's just say that some people perpetuate the stereotype. haha.

Not much going on here. The 4th has come and gone. I was thinking about last year and how it had rained ALL day and spoiled plans for sitting out on the lawn watching the fireworks, and how we were trying to light sparklers in the garage but it was so misty outside nothing wanted to light.

This year we didn't have any plans. I worked for part of the day but got home while it was still light out. We decided not to go to any scheduled fireworks shows or events and kept it low key. Pretty much just watching the fireworks that the neighbors had.

Believe it or not we are already getting in back to school mode. Trevor will be going to an orientation for middle school soon, and we're already buying some new clothes and shoes to get ready. (Loving the employee discount! LOL!) I'm just surprised at how much different this summer seems than last year. Life is crazy!
