The Slower Road

Even though we had a rather mild winter, it’s still sooo nice to be able to have our windows open and to walk outside and be greeted by a warm breeze, bright green grass, and flowers.

Because the winter was so mild, these guys have been blooming in our front yard since January …

But now that spring is really and truly here, it’s the season to enjoy new flowers each day, and to revel in the myriad shades of pink as plum, tulip magnolia, cherry, and crabapple trees all bloom in succession. Here’s the little crabapple tree outside my office window:

Yesterday was the Fayette County Farm Bureau’s annual farm-equipment auction, here at the Kentucky Horse Park. I must admit that I love looking at antique tractors, so I walked over on Friday afternoon to wander through row after row of tractors, manure spreaders, and all sorts of (for me) mostly unidentifiable farm equipment, all laid out in a far corner of the Park’s parking lot for Friday’s inspection and Saturday’s auction.

And, just by the way, it smelled like all the many car shows I’ve been to with my dad over the years … like motor oil and old car parts.

I hope you enjoy these abstract images of some of the equipment.
