When you come to KY, make it in late April-early May. Everything is in blossom, and the grass is as pretty as you'll ever see it. The dew in the mornings make it glisten like lime green velvet. Anywhere and everywhere you go, it's beautiful. Those stone fences and b/w wood fences surrounding the bluegrass farms--makes you want to trespass. But, then, if you like fall weather best, you still can't beat driving the highways thru the mtns. Very colorful, and to kick the leaves around your feet as you walk, kinda takes you back to childhood. Yes, the best way to appreciate the state of Kentucky is to live in another state and come back for visits. Sometimes we take for granted our own heritage, until we move away from it for awhile. .......Pat -----Original Message----- From: Judy & Jeff Smith <jjkith@theriver.com> To: KENTUCKY-LEGENDS-L@folklore.rootsweb.com <KENTUCKY-LEGENDS-L@folklore.rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, September 16, 1999 12:17 PM Subject: Re: [KENTUCKY-LEGENDS AND FOLKLORE] THE BEAUTY OF KENTUCKY >Maybe, someday, I'll get to see Kentucky.
