I used the long weekend as an excuse to get away from the city and back to nature. I needed an unplugged weekend to de-stress and to prepare for a busy period coming up. On my way to my ultimate destination, Cumberland Falls, I stopped in Berea, KY. I'd read about Berea and the strong artist community they have built there. I'm glad I took the time to stop - such a charming little town.
This is Berea's Farmer's Market - isn't it picture perfect?
When I first started noticing barns with large colorful signs with no words, I thought maybe it was the stable's racing colors. But then I noticed the colors weren't always what you would call "sporting" colors, so I started asking questions. Turns out the squares have nothing to do with racing but are instead painted quilt squares. When the Shakers helped settle the area they brought the tradition of decorating barns with these colorful signs and it continues today.
When I packed I made sure to include road trip music, including my latest purchase the debut album from Jaron and the Long Road Home. I've posted the current single, "I Pray for You" before, so today here is my personal favorite from the collection, "That's Beautiful to Me."
