Driving Home from Kentucky

…and a few things around home

Sunday & Monday, April 3 & 4

 

 

We saw some beautiful horse farms in the Lexington area.

 

 

A flowering tree at a rest stop

 

 

Daffodils close to where we parked.

 

 

By suppertime we began looking for a motel, and found a newly remodeled one in West Virginia.

 

 

It was certainly a pleasant place to relax.

 

 

Monday was a nice day for driving through West Virginia and Maryland hills.

 

 

 

 

As we traveled north, we saw less and less flowers, green grass, and budding trees.

 

 

We even saw a bit of snow on a mountain hillside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the mid-afternoon we got off the interstate (to my delight) and to Cerwin’s delight saw a few deer.

 

 

 

 

After spending so much time on interstates during this trip, it was a feast for my eyes to be so close to farms, trees, fields, and buildings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The farmers were busy in our local farmland by the time we got home…

 

 

…and it smelled like the country.

 

 

I have seen farmers spreading liquid manure like this, but it was the first time I saw it on my brothers’ farm.

 

 

 

 

The robins were out in abundance during the next few days.

 

 

Springtime is coming!
