Today was the day to drive around and look at horses and horse stuff. First, I went back over to the gift shop at Buffalo Trace to get a couple of bottle stoppers (like the one in yesterday's post) for my mom. Then, I called to see if I could…

It rained a little earlier this morning and now the deck is wet with leaves and there's just a little bit of fog over the water, traveling slowly with the current. It's completely silent except for an occasional bird chirp, or if something disturbs the white geese down on the…
