On July 20th, a group of friends and I drove to the beautiful sprawling farm of close-friend Lois Mateus outside Harrodsburg, Kentucky, for a visit, a wonderful dinner and a drive-around the farm in a small four-wheel vehicle. Here we are in that vehicle (below).
With Tim Tomes driving, the four of us had a wonderful, talkative and relaxing trip down and back. Most of us have been there two, three or more times, but once is never enough. Her huge farm is a marvelous array of grasses, flowers, trees, animals, rolling fields and stone structures. There are engaging art pieces everywhere, inside and out, to catch your attention. To say that the rolling acres, with their old and well preserved buildings, are a marvel is to understate the fact for sure!
Below, is one of the outside art pieces that caught my attention as we drove onto the farm road leading up to the house. It was a copper remnant from the renovation of our Cathedral of the Assumption that Lois had bid on and won at a fund-raising auction. I recognized it right off. It was copied and replaced because of some damage over the years to the original. It stands in a perfect setting with with the rolling hills all around and even the jet-stream of a plane probably landing at the nearby Lexington airport.
