There are few places in Kentucky that I feel totally relaxed, and am able to just chill out and reflect on life. Whenever things get rough, or I just need to get out of the city I go back to my roots...which means I spend some time on the family farm. This property has been in my family for more than 200 years, and will one day pass to myself, my sister, and our cousins. I spent almost all of my free time from ages 5-15 here~and I admit that I love being a country girl at heart. I dom't know if it is merely the memories or the very spiritual connection I feel to the land here, but I am always at home when I visit. Since it is so important to me I thought I would share some pictures I took today. Happy Friday Y'All and have a great weeekend!
One of two natural waterfalls on our property.
Elkhorn creek...this is the first clear view of it as you drive back the farm road
John Deere tractor and a disc plow...this is our lower field
Beef....it's what's for dinner~ and I think these 3 know that!
The now abandoned tobacco barn...We participated in the buy-out, so we no longer raise tobacco.
Genuine Burley Tobacco...left behind in the rafters to cure.
Sunlight steaming in thru the doors of the cattle barn.
Old tire swing in front of the even older family home.
