Fall is the loveliest time to visit northern Kentucky, and it is our favorite. Ever since our first visit together as a couple, back in 2002, Robert and I have returned in the fall to rekindle memories of young love, and as a respite from a hectic schedule. And for those of you Texans, here is some fall to enjoy vicariously, now all you need to do is imagine a perfectly crisp breeze, cool enough for long sleeves, but warm and sunny enough to enjoy pleasantly strolling. Change is in the air.
I don't know what this brilliant red leafed tree is, but the photo does not do it justice.

The entire time of our stay at Rosemark Haven, I thought of Carrie McGavock and Carton plantation, the heroine in the historical fiction book I'm reading,
" Widow of the South" by Robert Hicks. (Oddly enough set here in Franklin,TN-only about 20 minutes from where I live.) Another cool place to visit if you ever come see me!
But back to Kentucky. From Bardstown (a small burg with a town square/main street -smaller than Fredericksburg,TX) we drive down Bardstown road about 40mins. to downtown Louisville for some walking and of course shopping. You know my husband, the record store junkie. He has some favs along Bardstown Road. And in the time he spends in one or two stores, I am able to hit every boutique, vintage clothing store, antiques and art galleries in the area.
On this trip, I discovered an exciting new addition to add to our list of Bardstown favs. But due to the length of this blog post...... to be continued.
Look for Part II -Louisville later this week.
