Beautiful Day

It was a really beautiful day here in Bardstown despite the heavy frost on the car this morning and waking up with a sinus headache.  I can't believe that there are places already getting snow. I was up early thanks to Bubba and TC.  They did actually let me sleep in until 7:00!  At 9:30 Bubba and I...well more Bubba had an appointment at a local vet.  His...ah...rear end issue had flared up! I couldn't wait until the next visit back to Canada to get that looked at.  Turned out to be a good thing because he was in bad shape back there. Met a nice older couple in the waiting room.  We got to talking after they commented on how handsome Bubba was. He really gets that a lot. Turns out they have 3 dogs and 3 cats.  Two of those dogs being Rottweiler's! 

After the vet we headed back to the apartment with the car windows rolled down.  A small treat for Bubba for being such a good boy and cleaning and laundry for me.  It was such a beautiful day that we couldn't stay inside for long.  So we finally headed to The Bernheim Forest.  I knew it would be beautiful with all the fall colours. I took lots of pictures to share with you.

Took this one with my IPhone!...

...and this one...

...and this one.  Then I noticed I was using up a lot of power and started using my camera.

Bubba feeling more spry after the vet visit....and less aromatic I might add.

I thought you would the appreciate interesting fun facts.

Bubba finds something of interest.  I hope he doesn't eat whatever it is.

Camera Shy.

He is just amusing me at this point.

I know some Nevin's!

This is how big the forest actually is.  We only walked and saw a small part of it!

A little friend we found.

The Doctor the Forest was named in honour of. Very interesting.

It was a great day to be out there for a walk. The whole loop around the lake took us about 45 minutes....I am sure it could have been faster if I wasn't with Stubby legs.  After that we hit Wendy's for a salad to bring home for dinner, had a nap hoping the headache would go away and did more laundry.  Around 8:30 I finally stopped procrastinating about the gym and headed out. Much to Bubba's delight. Luckily no neighbours were home to hear the howling. On my way out the front door I ran into a huge group of Ghost Trekkers (or Trackers) on their tour of Bardstown. It took a while for the whole group to pass.  I ran into the husband of Patti Starr, the tour guide.  He informed me that the vine growing on the apartment was actually 100 years old.  He said that it is documented some where, but he couldn't remember where he read it.  Just a fun filled day of interesting facts!!  I haven't decided what Sunday will bring. I even thought some Christmas shopping might be a good idea.....or Zappo's....I haven't been there at all this month!!
