Some barns demand respect. They’re massive, tricked out monuments to money. Then there are the others, diamonds in the rough. This is the story of one such barn. Peeling paint and all, this barn gives value. This barn deserves a new coat of paint. First, we’ll look at the outside. Ugly Duckling Ok, not...
Keenland is most certainly a very friendly place. Just because the weather was bad, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! This young man will always remember petting the big horse at the racetrack. Grampa won’t forget it soon, either! In between rain showers, and during some, the horses were still running! Between storms...
Radio Address on Socialized Medicine, 1961: My name is Ronald Reagan. I have been asked to talk on several subjects that have to do with the problems of the day. … Back in 1927, an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would...
Today temperatures were in the mid 50′s, although it sure seems warmer after the frigid days of this miserable winter! I went out looking for some horses to photograph, and every one I saw was covered with mud. And, that my friends is another side of spring in Kentucky. The ground is wet, horses...
Even on a dreary, overcast day, Kentucky is still one of the most beautiful places in the world. We had a white Christmas for the first time in over 10 years, and it’s been gorgeous! May this season bring you everything you need, and a good dollop of what you want. God Bless this...
Some say winter in the northern hemisphere doesn’t start until winter solstice, December 21st. I think that’s bull. Winter starts here when the geese fly low over the pastures.

There are a few things I need to get clear. First, I love animals. Second, I eat meat. So, why would someone who loves animals eat meat? I do not have anything against anyone who declines meat. I believe that we all walk our own path. Whether that path includes consumption of meat is...
Feng Shui is about achieving balance in the world. Going “green” can be an important part of that balance. But, are we being duped into buying things that are only carrying the “green” label? Have you ever wondered how companies can make something overseas, ship it here, sell it cheaper than we could make...
It’s truly a beautiful day in the neighborhood. I’ve been out and about today, and so have others. Driving down the road in Lexington is an event. These two were in a field with their moms, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine…and the company of their best friends. To the right of the pasture...
Allow me to present an ethics dilema. There’s money out there for the taking! Grant money! The government is giving it away, so you’d be foolish not to take it. After all, somebody will. They’ll go out, apply for those grants, buy property, “employ people to fix up that property” and then sell that property...
