Rainy Easter Weekend

                                                             RAIN ~ RAIN ~ RAIN
That seems to be all we see lately!  We had three days to ride and out of those three days we found about 2 hours on Saturday afternoon without rain.  So, once the sun came out we took off! 
We were able to eat at one of our favorite little cafes in Trigg county, The Fishin' Hole.  I love this place, the food is great and the people so friendly! 
We rode around Cadiz for a short while, I snapped a few barns while hitting some of the fun roads that are close in.
I could see this barn peeking through the trees ahead of us.
  Another barn hiding in the forest.  So many barns just waiting to smile for the camera.

     

 This beautiful lonely Iris was just begging to have it's picture taken.  All alone!
Kentucky is such a green state, especially this time of year.  I even caught a blooming tree sneaking through.
 I love the Pine tree on the right - it seemed so very perfect!
  Just happened to catch my tour guide in the rear view mirror as we tooled down the road.  He looks so serious, doesn't he?  Check out our new headphones!
We decided to head for The Land Between The Lakes.  This is such a beautiful place and there are so many roads and areas to discover there.  However, as we headed deeper into the park, the skies started to get darker and darker.  The radio began announcing storm and tornado warnings.  I love watching the clouds and Saturday afternoon gave me quite a few clouds to shoot.












The dark clouds were rolling in fast.
                                                                   All diferent formations forming around us.
 
Thinking we should be closer to home.                                             Could this be the eye of the storm?
 I thought about the storm chasers as we were flying (literally) back to Cadiz.  Perhaps in a different form . . . the storm was chasing us!!!  We made it home just in the nick of time, we had the bike stowed away and let Lola out for a break and we had no sooner walked in the house and the sky opened up and totally dumped buckets of water on Cadiz.  Whew - made it just in time - dry and safe!
Until next time . . .
